Vote for me in the photo contest

I hope you enjoyed my last post of the rally race I went to! Turns out they had a photo contest that people can enter to win an autographed poster and a pair of shoes, so I am asking my loyal readers to help out!

It's super easy: Click the link, click the "5" below the photo, DONE! :D

VOTE PICTURE HERE

I would really appreciate your support! And this would be a boring post without a photo, so here is me and my baby at the rally race!

2010 100 Acre Wood Rally Race

2/27/2010 - Salem, MO

I love photography and I love racing, so when I found out that there was a rally race in my state (although 5 hours away), I decided to make the trip and see what kind of photos I can get. I must say, the experience was very exciting, and I hope to go again the next time they visit Missouri!

Photographer's Corner: I used the Canon 5D Mark II for my shots, and noticed that shots taken with the 24-70mm f/2.8L were somewhat blurred due to panning motion. However, the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS had a second mode of Image Stabilizer that is made for panning, aka only stabilize the vertical motion. My keeper rate were significantly higher with the IS lens. So, come on Canon, make a 24-70L IS and I will upgrade! :)

Faux Wedding

Shot Megan and Jeff's engagement session in the previous post with the Canon 45mm TS-E Tilt/Shift lens in the morning, and then it was onto this Faux Wedding that my friend Layne from Embody Imagery organized. Since this was just for fun and hanging out, figure it was perfect to get more familiar with this specialty lens.

By the way, I have some people asked me, what does a tilt/shift lens do? In short, there are many "blurs" and "distortions" that can be made with this lens, and you can see that I have used the selective blurs/focus to help bring the audiences' attention to where I want them. Enjoy!
