Those are great! That 1980 must be a beast in person.

Thanks guys. I was trying to capture that awesome, warm, incandescent glow I love about these beasts. tipo33, if you click the picture, I believe the Flickr page should show you the aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length, etc. I use a Nikon D3000 and this photo was taken with a 50mm Nikkor...

I was trying to take some glamour shots of my 1050. None turned out exactly as I had envisioned, but thought I'd share one here since this thread has been so helpful...
