New Camera Meets Old Car

I am back in Vancouver for the week. Ostensibly I had to take leave   to “burn off” some of my accumulated annual leave days... so I had decided to take this time to come back, get my car plated, and then road trip back to Kingston.

After some back and forth with my parents, we decided instead to use a shipping company with weekly car transportation service between Vancouver and Toronto, fly over when the car arrives, then visit Ottawa / Montreal as a family and with the car.

Yesterday I had the car plated and insured, and then today I brought it over to the shipper. While at their yard, I decided to introduce my current camera to my car, which they had never met before. As they will be “working” together extensively, I thought that they should “meet” as soon as possible.

So, here they are, the first pictures of my 2013 Cadillac CTS-V in Black Diamond Tricoat , taken by my Nikon D750 with Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8E ED VR lens... the first of many to come.

Finally, here are a few select pictures I took on my trip back home:

That’s the body and lens combo I was going to buy next year.  I take low light indoors shots mostly, though.  And “city” photography, whatever that means.

 Agreed.  In my house the current "new" car is a 2010..  though admittedly that might get updated soon..

Maybe I should use it?

I used a 6 megapixel DSLR for years. I bet you could do some great work with that.

You should get your car gold plated.

I like those caddies, but I don’t like it when the owner mods it to sound like a ‘70s-era muscle car. There are a couple of them where I live and they’re just obnoxious, especially when they’re pulling through the gas station and the driver can’t stop revving the engine.

Thats close to my newest as well. Though my average is of drinking age (1998)
