akira3d's NSXPO 2010 Pics

[akira3d]

I'm filtering through 1,250 photos, so it is going to take some time...but thought I would post a tease starting with highlights from Steve's (Ca AGNSX) caravan...

Man, you took some great shots for cruising at 75mph+ and being one handed! Well done!

Thanks...glad I was able to get a good one of yours. I used the 2 second delay on the camera to help with the stability for those over the shoulder shots.

If I remember correctly, I took them right handed, keeping my left hand on the wheel...I need to see Wirewizz's pics to know for sure since we snapped a photo of each other taking photos:

OK, Eric. Only 1250 pix? I shot 385, deleted half and posted the other half yesterday. Enough teasing. Get busy and post! :biggrin:

On a serious note Eric, when shooting rolling shots as a passenger, I use two hands and still have half come out blurry. You must be be Batman!

For most rolling shots, I shoot manual or use shutter priority using a shutter speed of 1/250 sec...any slower and I would have had a lot more blur from motion, any faster and the narrow of a depth of field would have made it harder to keep the whole caravan in focus. I'm not that steady handed...especially in the NSX. I did lose a lot of shots during the Red Rock and Death Valley drives.

Awesome photos, like always. Thanks! Looking forward to more! :biggrin:

I've past this sign many times leaving the barstow area and never understood. How do you pronounce that?

Awesome shots, Eric. Especially the cruising ones (that definitely takes talent). Thanks so much for posting them to share. :smile:

Nice pics Eric. Thanks for sharing! nice to see you guys stopped at the Mad Greek. HA!! I love that place. :biggrin: I used to also like the Bun Boy when they were there, now it's a Bob's Big Boy, not the same. :redface:

Eric, if your day job doesn't work out for you, you can always become a food photographer! You made those sushi rolls look absolutely amazing! :biggrin:

Ha...I was actually disappointed in the way my sushi shots came out, especially the ones from more interesting angles. And, in retrospect, I really should have spelled out "N S X" with them. What was I thinking?

If you think this photo is enticing, you should see the spread from Friday night's epic feast at Sushi Kaya.
