Taken and edited with my iPod-tato. I went to walmart today and bought a couple Hot Wheels. More cars and fancy potato pictures after gap.

Hey! I bought a Celica too! I didn't use my potato, though.

BTW, I took that picture of my Celica in my mini home studio. I posted about it on Photography a couple of months ago. You might try something similar.

In all fairness, I used a much better potato.

Any suggestion on a cheap starter DSLR? I would probably have to buy used. I am really wanting to upgrade from my point-and-shoot.

I'm no pro by any standard, but I started with a used Canon 20D and new Tamron 17-50mm lens. You can get used 40D bodies fairly inexpensive, as well as Rebel bodies. Head over to B&H Photo and check their used department. They sell both body/lens combos, as well as bodies alone. I would suggest buying a new lens, though. The Tamron I mentioned is about $400, but it's a great lens. That's what I used for the Celica photo. It doesn't have tons of reach, so it won't be much use photographing a race from the stands, but if you take it to Cars and Coffee you'll be thrilled.

I was about to respond with: "I bought the Toyota today. Don't look at me like that! I'm still 6 at heart." but your post seems to have gone to the great 404 in the sky.

Yea. Kinja double posted it so I thought to delete one of them. Kinja deleted them both. I reposted it though.

What editor are you using?

Those pics look real good and non-instagrammy.

The stock photo editor that comes with iOS7. It is in the "Photos" app

I haven't downloaded iOS7 yet, since I'm afraid it'll seriously bog down my iPotato 4. I'll probably pick up a 5 soon, though, before they discontinue it.
