a "Blast from the Past!" Great. I remember how we all drooled over the Datsun 240Z

Thank you, kyri. this particular pickup was driven by a Gypsy peddling potatoes. The buggers, use loudspeakers to hawk their ware, waking up entire neighborhoods, darn them!

I thought it was your car, LOL, great shot.

lovely, just wish the front cubes were in focus too.

Re-shot with dark background that allowed for better focus. Better.

well done

Author, not a bad job for learning. Very nice attempt. I see by your SBS, shot 2 and shot 3 look identical. In strong sun, try a properly exposed image, 2 stops under and only 1 stop over...might work a bit better to keep highlights from blowing out and get better shadow detail. Good Luck

Based on the example given with the topic, I discovered that too, but it was too late for amends. A little encouragement, itsmymoment, is more than welcome, and for this I can't thank you enough

Thanks, jfish

This is one thing where you wouldn't want a macro shot, well done.

Cool shot. The rest of his body blurred in the background really helps it. (Hard to tell from this angle, but it just looks like a Garter Snake - they couldn't hurt you if they wanted to)

I think you're right...probably a garter. However, in the back of my mind I'm never sure. We have pigmy rattlers here as well. It does have some pretty cool DOF for both grass and snake.
