Very nice pic. Your wife has talent. What camera/lens/software is she using and how long has she been doing the photography thing? Is that what your garage wall looks like or is that post-processed? Care to share the EXIF data on that particular shot or any of her other work? I'm just starting out on the professional photography front myself and hope to get there.

Thanks! She uses a Nikon D200, not sure which lens (I'm not into photography at ALL.. it's her thang). She uses Photoshop to do some post-processing, but with that pic it's pretty much WYSISYG. She's been at it for about 2 1/2 years now. That's the real garage with a backdrop hanging over it. I've no idea on any of the rest of your questions... lol sorry. Good luck in yoru photography endeavors!

Some of you posted w/ questions about her shooting your car if you were in town. She'd be more than happy to... her normal session fees would apply (posted on her website at http://www.IdeallyYoursPhotography.com ). Here is some of her work of the local Tulsa club, TFCC:

Mike, where in Texas did you pick up the car? did it meet everything that you were looking for (miles, 6spd, options, etc.)?

I picked it up in Houston, found it on Autotrader. I had been looking for a little newer model, but this only had 39k miles on it. It does have a 6-speed, leather, the t-tops, affordable... all the things I wanted. The only iffy part was buying a car SO modified under the hood... but the guy really spent a lot of $$$ buying good parts and doing it right... so.. I went for it. It basically has all the engine mods I woulda have done but never would've been able to afford to do myself. Sooo... works out! Thnx for askin'
