Default Some iron pics...

As promised, some of the first pics I took with my D60. In other words, some of the first pics I've ever taken with a DSLR.

Old Iron


Old Yeller


Z


Feel free to C&C. I wish I could have driven that Willys panel van somewhere nice to take some shots.

As an aside, can anyone suggest how I bring out the V-Dub reflection in the Z28 without also enhancing the badly orange peeled paint job?

Welcome to DPS! Excellent shots. I like the view of the first one. When you see a truck like that, you've gotta have some countryside along with it. well done.

Your first shot is really done well. I like them all. The Z28 with the reflection is great. Is the VW wondering what it would be like to be a big boy or visa versa?

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. I suspect you'll be seeing more of that old stack in the future, as well as the cattle pasture, as they're both mine.

Thanks, much appreciated. The Z picture is actually what I could salvage from a failed full length shot, so I hadn't even seen the V-Dub reflection when I took the initial shot. If only I could go back in time...
