Thanks Tom. It's a lot more fun to shoot as well.

Subject: PESO: Countdown to the Dream Cruise
Date: Sat, 6 Aug 2005 23:15:58 -0400
Two weeks to the Dream Cruise and traffic is building on Woodward
Avenue. Must have been several thousand enthusiast type cars of
various genres out tonight. In two weeks there will be 50,000 or so.
But there were enough tonight that the Royal Oak police -- macho
idiots that they are -- started clearing parking lots at 9 PM. If you
could see the crowd of cruisers, you'd know that's something akin to
raiding a nursing home, but I digress. I went out and shot some swish
pans with a short lens and a very slow shutter speed. This one was
with the FA 35/2 @ 5.6, 1/8th second. The cool thing about this
technique (short lens, long exposure) is that, if done correctly, it
yields just one point of focus somewhere near the middle of the car.
The misses outnumber the hits of course, but I like this one. I think
it's an early 70s Pontiac GTO and an unidentified Mopar.
