We awoke this morning to find a car-repair scene on the livingroom floor.

He makes these kind of things every day, from the simple (valet) to the complex (heavy industries) to the unexpected (airport security gate). If they catch my fancy as a parent or photographer, I'll try to grab a few shots.
I thought it'd be a good place to play with the extremely shallow depth of field offered by an f/1.4 lens (I have two, a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 and a Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 that I bought from Zak). I tried a few shots with the 85mm, but felt f/1.4 was just too shallow to do much with in the limited time I had. I need more practice.
I also need to work on better lighting. I need some reflectors or something....
Fortunately it’s a Mercedes-Benz, the guy can continue to step on the hood :-))
Wow, that’s going to be a heck of a repair bill. Helicopter rental per hour alone would be fairly prohibitive.
