EXCELLENT little car photography John   -   EXCELLENT!

Thank you very much Tony.....I found the light to be "unusual" this morning.....and then,I noticed that my AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED | Nikon lens seems to be taking a shortened image,as if it were in the wrong aspect ratio....

I use that same lens, as you know, and your settings look right; although, if on a tripod the VR does not necessarily need to be on. What aperture are you using?

f11 (shooting in aperture mode)

Should work fine. You my try f/22 to f/40 (depending on distance to subject) to see if it renders any better results.   

fabulous setup John

I`ll try that Tony.....and thank you exceedingly for your guidance......at a 22 to 40 aperture would I lose all bokeh?

Potentially, yes. The smaller your aperture, the more depth of field front to back. Experimentation is needed with each different lens to find its best sweet spots - apertures/shutter speed combos.

Beautiful images JB.  I must say I'm impressed with Edward's taste in cars, if not women.  Lol.

Gracias Tony...you`ve told me that before and I keep forgetting it !!! .........maybe it`s time to get my first tattoo  

I will experiment with the 105 to see if I can determine the sweet spot f setting(s)......f22 from 5-6` or so gave me a very acceptable bokeh...not the full blur out,but kind of an enchanted forest deal

Thanks Jack......you take exception with little Calffie ????

@john-barry  No worries about the livestock; I was thinking about our recent review regarding Eddy's abdication for dear Wallis.
