    More specifically heading towards the first viper shot, evo, tire stack, fox, blue vw, partial engine bay, ferrari gauge, yellow viper, super duty, and ccw wheel. The classy look is what I'm gonna go for although I know it will be hard!

    so what all are you looking to get into? Are you going to be taking classes? If so, I'd recommend that you get a camera & start shooting around with it before you go to class that way you know what's up and how to work your equipment. I've never taken any classes for it, so I'm not the guy to talk to. I'm not sure what they even make you do, but if you have any questions feel free to gimmie a call or something and I can probably help you out

    Also for what its worth, a lot of those pictures have a fair amount of post processing done (i.e. lightroom/photoshop/etc), and that's not what you'll generally see coming out of the camera once you take a picture

    Well to be really honest I would like to open my business first which I'm going to school for then have a side job as photography simply for the enjoyment of it all. Right now though I'm gonna start shooting all around town with different cars and seeing what I like most. Thanks for the help too I'm sure I'll have a few questions

    I wanna mainly shoot raw form so I can tweak away later. I also wanna get a 20d, 30d, 5dmk1, or 5dmk2 with a tamron/sigma lense.

    20d,30d. Look into xsi. Just about the same. If not xsi better. I would go for a 40 or 50d. The price on the 5 is way too much imo. It would be great to have but go for something cheaper. 40 or 50d ftw.

    EDIT: OK This is Bo posting, I signed in with my screen name but I'm not sure why it posted as Brian???

    buddy's computer isn't accepting the program. Just saw it first hand, so IDK what to do from here. It's not the minimum requirements, because it meets them... so we'll figure it out. But its frustrating when things that should work just don't.

    And I'd say that the one thing about photography is that it's the one hobby that more people try to turn into a side business than anything else. I'm not sure why that is... probably because its expensive as hell, and some people have a real knack for it. I'm not saying you can't do that, I'm just saying that it might be more of a challenge than you think.

    Also, I hate to say it but your body choices are ALL over the place. the 20d went out of production like 3-4 years ago, and the 5kmkii is like a 5000 body

    Don't be afraid to get your feet wet, see if you like it (and are good/have time/etc) and then go for it. No shame in that

    Sounds good to me.

    ^^ These were the bodies that I liked from other photographers work and wouldn't mind owning.

    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction on the 50d brian! Or bo lol whoever that was.

    first post was brian, second post was me.

    I shoot with a 40D, I like it a lot, have no gripes about it. Would have bought the 50D but would rather have put the money towards better glass (which makes a bigger deal than the body in a lot of situations).

    Canon is also releasing a 7D pretty soon (or already have). It's somewhere between the 50D and the 5D. It's still using the APS-C sensor frame though, rather than the full frame of the 5D. Which again, if you're not sure what the difference is, that's all the more reason not to spend $5000 on a camera body

    Another interesting note is that Brian and I have opposite set ups. I have a very good body & a pretty good lens, where as Brian has a pretty good body with a very good lens. They both get the job done, but each route has their trade offs
