Oh jeezus…  
I’ve never liked the red tails, meh.  
If all goes well hopefully I can have a different vehicle in the spring/summer.

> i think you should replace your sig pic with this one !!! and is this shot at 1.4??? i was thinking about getting a 35mm 1.4 but not sure if it does the effect i would like with a car … kinda a toss up between a 35mm 1.4 50mm 1.4 or 85mm 1.8 either way nice pic … i love the detail in the wheels is this a single exposure or bracket

It was shot at f/2 from just a single shot. Using different layers in PS I edited the background and car separately. Its a combination of HDR and the edited original.

The 35 f/1.4 is nice, but I like longer focal lengths for vehicles, at least 85mm. I plan to use this lens for situations where I am limited on space.
