... and some other samples of the Sigma, which is a fantastic lens:

I was inspired by this thread to go try some interior rolling shots. Just did a test run, only 10-15 pics through work complex real quick. I think I was going to slow, and by judging I was too far zoomed in and aimed too high. Got a taste of it though, so I'll def play with this later and get much better. Constructive criticism or flat out insults welcome BTW-how fast do you guys drive for those shots? I was only driving about 20mph, excuse the dirty interior I havent cleaned it in a while-or driven it for that matter.

I have gone anywhere from 15mph to 80mph while taking these interior moving shots... the faster and smoother the road the better of course..
this is what i use for a camera mount
and the result going through a tunnel

Thought I'd post this here since it was taken with this same lense earlier today, I somehow accidently deleted my raw file (I shoot in L+Raw) so I only have the unprocessed JPEG but it still came out okay. I'm not sure what I would do to it in post processing since I'm new to it.
Anyway here you go.

Anyways, B&H has a special on this lens... input
ps0707kmakn
in the search field, and you get $40 off. But you better hurry, deal ends on the 14th
Here's some newly processed Sigma 10-20 pics.

In fact, if you look at the third page of this thread, post #48, here:
https://my350z.com/forum/showpost.ph...0&postcount=48 that I posted up in September, you'll see that I did post the Canon code.
Got Canon's 580EX II flash for $339 with the $20 off with the special, and the Canon $50 instant rebate... regular was $409.
Just get it from Amazon... it's almost as cheap as the B&H special.

Here's a video from STROBIST,:http://strobist.blogspot.com/2007/06...ini-shoot.html a "flash how-to" website showing a reader using an 580 and 430 master/slave, keylight/fillight combo to take backlit shots at dusk. CHECK OUT THE VIDEO, you'll be amazed with the results.
I was planning on doing his technique with a model, and my car in the back at sunset somewhere. We'll see how things pan out.
