There I was at the Ace Cafe last night.. with a load of other Minis (also some mod scooters so expect a few of them too).

Now for the pics!

Nice Pics! What camera are you using?? I'm looking for a new one & you've taken some awesome shots with yours. Is it a DSLR?

[Doovydoo]

I thank you. It is indeed a DSLR, it's a Canon 5D mkII with a 50mm 1.8 lens.

I'm a photographer/film-maker so I like my toys

A great starting DSLR in the Canon range (what I recommend) would be something like a Canon 1100D, a nice beginners price and still with the option of all the great lens variety. The 50mm 1.8 is a fixed prime lens with no zoom but the large aperture (1.8) allows a lot of light in, reduces the depth of field to give the background blur and eliminates (to a degree) the need for flash and gives much more natural ambient light tones.. obviously more noticeable when darkness falls.

was you the guy who i was talking to about the rat car with floral arches having well good full lock capabilities ;)

[Doovydoo]

Haha, yes that was me :)

The guy that owns that, Sam, added me on Facebook - he said he doesn't come on here as he takes a lot of rap for his car.. it's certainly different

[JonnyBMX]

Cheers Doovydoo. I had a Sony A100 with Minolta lenses but I wanted something a bit smaller & less bulky I can carry round at shows & eslewhere, but still take good shots when I need to. My sis has a Fujifilm Finepix HS30 which she says is pretty good 24-810mm zoom) so I'm looking for something similar. I love how the background on your shots are blured & the main area is crisp. Looks really cool.

That Innocenti is lovely! Tastefull mods make it look great shame its converted to RHD..


..Unless it's only pretending to be an inno

[Brams96]

Look closer & you can see the wipers are still set up for LHD so it's probably been converted...

...unless they converted them to pretend too
