Images from AutoX: Oakland Coliseum 2/24/2008

one of the funniest auto-x i've been to. always nice to be able to shoot under the weather. the heavy down pour at times was a blast. it was such a challenge to keep the camera dry and to change settings and such. the short periods of sun/no rain so things can dry out a bit was pretty nice. had a nice chat with karlton, glider (i believe that was him), and jim (big tall guy with the mini that shoots as well) that day.

Your name was Steve. Now your name is Pignose. See you at the next event, Pignose.

Or I guess we could call you Piggy, but that kind of reminds me of Lord of the Flies.

yea at one point it was raining so hard, camera barely wanted to focus because of lack of contrast. all i saw was gray through the viewfinder.

thanks glider! glass is sorta overrated. a lot of people say the lower end 70-300, and the 18-200 (the nikon ones) aren't sharp and such, but i've seen some amazing shots from them even for cars.

nikon d200. most were with a 300mm, some were 80-200, the one wide shot was from a 17-35, and the two really slow pans are from a 105. i guess that shows that i do like to use every paint brush

thanks karlton! if i make it out to the next autox, i might try some "out of the norm" stuff.

also thanks everyone for the nice comments!
