Here is an amazingly built Nissan 350Z from Junior of Team Nextstage out of Houston, TX.  I’ve seen this car built from the beginning and quality was not spared in any aspect.

Names from top companies such as Volk Racing, Vertex, and Project mU help make this a show stopper.

I still consider myself a novice photographer.  When I rented this Canon 70-200 f/2.8, I was afraid that this was way too much lens for me to handle or be able to shoot decent shots with.  My first impressions of this were size and weight.  It’s a very heavy when combined with the weight of my battery gripped Canon 40D.  Lugging it around in a backpack wasn’t bad at first, but as the day and event I was shooting at went on, the weight became very apparent.

The things I like about this lens are the ultra fast focusing and amazing bokeh produced when shooting wide open.  Colors seem much more vibrant also compared to shots with my other lens…maybe it’s all in my head.  Here are a few shots I took at the last Hot Import Nights event held in Austin, TX on September, 18, 2009.

One of my favorite shots with very little post processing.
