reflected ferrari

bay street, just south of bloor.

my new wide angle zoom lens (canon ef-s 10-22) arrived and I'm putting it to some tests. so far I'm very impressed with it. this was shot from inside our friend Marjan's car while I held the camera out the sunroof shooting a number of shots blindly, hoping for a good composition.

the fact that I played a solid 5 hours of Outrun 2006 on my PSP might have something to do with this too!

    fantastic shot, you are going to love that lens. It never came to me to use the sunroof.

    Great shot. I thought it was a model when I saw the thumbnail.

    Oh yeah, how do you go about saving all the extra information in your EXIF data...copyright, etc.?

    totally awesome!
    I'm just learning to use my wide angle, too!!
    I would say you've got a good handle on it!

    Dunk It

    yummy lens! Nice PC work too. Ram-rod straight. You can always tell spring is here when the Ferraris come out of hiding.

    Excellent shot Sam.
    Since i got my 10-22 a month ago it has became my favorit lens. It's really addictive. You will enjoy it, and i predict your 17-40L will start to feel lonely at home soon ;)

    Why does it look like every car on the street just came out of a car wash? lol... nice shot though... you make the streets of Toronto look so clean!

    The colors in all of your shots are amazing. The 10-22 is a fun lens. Enjoy!

    a perfect reflection shot, great colors, interesting that you used a CP filter with this lens, because it's usualy impossible to put a filter on an extra wide lens

    love this. mmm hdr :)

  34. blueskygirl (85 months ago | reply)

    This is wonderful....the city has such a surreal look to it. I love the action on the street and you can see the reflection of the city on the hood of the car which even adds more to the whole scene!

    I love this shot, instant fav!

    Great shots. Ever thought about posting before/after comparisons? I'd love to know a little more about what kind of magic you perform with Photoshop... ;)

    yah, this one works...

  40. 8ran (82 months ago | reply)

    unreal... I have to get one of these

  41. charliestyr (82 months ago | reply)

    Brilliant, I'm considering the 10-22 for when I get my 400D, but I'm not sure yet, quite expensive....!

    Such an awesome shot! Great work man.. what street is this. Can't figure it out.

  43. Scorchez (81 months ago | reply)

    YEAH! Love the Outrun reference!

  44. llmars (81 months ago | reply)

    Outrun... that's frickin classic! Nice shot! Makes me want to pick up my controller...

    Reminds me of the class Chase HQ rather any of the more recent driving games.
