Last Friday was the opening night of this year's Classic. I didn’t get over there until around 7:00pm when most of my shooting light was almost gone for the day. I thought I would at least check out what cars were already on display, but I didn’t expect to capture much.
It wasn’t long until I came upon this yellow Ford GT. In between people surrounding it for photos and such, and as the light was bidding farewell, I grabbed this image. I set my camera on “shutter priority” mode and adjusted it to the lowest setting I knew that I could still handhold it on for a steady image. The built in “Vibration Reduction” of my Nikon allowed me to handhold the camera with a ¼ of a second shutter speed and still capture a relatively sharp image.
My viewing monitor flips out and pivots up or down which allows me to capture the creative angles many of you have been wondering about.

hmm can you love a car? Very nice I don't think our ford discount counts for this car. Very nice images!
I like that you've given us just a tantilizing bite of the whole feast.
Handheld at 1/4 second, wow. I tend to live on tropods when I am serious, but I don't ahve the anti vibe on my Canon D60. Nice work.
yeah. your camera seriously makes me jealous.
