<p>I belong to a hot rod club in PGH PA and travel spring and summer to all the car cruises. I didn't want to carry a DSLR and lens and bought a Nikon P500 bridge camera. The wide angle 22mm to the huge 880mm zoom equivalents give me a lightweight package. My images are excellent and I have experimented with different focal lengths and use flash only when required. I assume you are using a DSLR so I would recommend using a wide angle lens. People are the biggest problem when shooting and I try and stay clear of car shows. Hit some car cruises in your area and check out the schedules at carcruises.com - one other note is practicing early am and mid eve on images of your car in different angles. Get a tripod or monopod and have fun.</p>

<p>Nothing is sweeter than finding a great deal on the internet. I recently purchased a Canon Pixma Pro100 from BH photo in NY.It cost $398 including shipping. Not bad when you get 50 sheets of Canon 13x19 free and a $300 rebate. In the end it cost me $98 and the printer included a full set of 8 ink cart. Canon throws in some excellent software all compatible with lightroom and adobe. We just received the printer yesterday and will be setting it up the next few days. </p>

 

<p>I am finally retired and ready to get back into my passion for photography. Decades ago I bought a RB67 and all the lenses and backs. I didn't really have the time for photography with long hours at work, a new wife and eventually a daughter. My camera and lenses are still in boxes and look if they were brand new. Eventually they will be placed on ebay or craigslist. My wife and daughter bought me a new Nikon for my retirement gift and surprised me today with a Canon Pro100 printer. I am excited about getting back into photography and look forward in hearing from some very gifted people on photo net. Doug S</p><div></div>
