I'm for hiring Steve, although he might be a bit pricey heading out Jay's way.

Steve is a great choice, so long as he brings along some red headed props ;D  While Steve is there he can take Jay to a camera store to pick up a good camera as Jays bike is in a constant state of change 8)

Another vote for Steve. He'll have to fly out weekly for all the coverage.

Thanks guys - He should purchase a new Dslr. I noticed he cheated himself out of the true shade of green on his bike in a few pics.  Total injustice right there too towards he and his bike

I say that but all the crappy pics I put in the C14 section of the forum were with my cell phone....   but they weren't real photoshoots =)

ZG if you're in FL there's a shoot on me.....   I'll even bring a model and possibly hair/makeup artist...she'll need green hair  :D

My bad, sorry guys, I'm just a man on the go and use what is handy... I totally agree though the phone pics do no justice, see her in person and you'll be blown away!  8)

Steve, yer welcome anytime bro to make it right!  :chugbeer:

I would have said that he should have Steve take the pictures, only problem is Steve is too busy with all the women folk he has to take for rides on his bikes... won't always be around to take pictures for ZG so he'll need to get his own DSLR or at least a good quality pocket cam.

Good advise, let me add, get the 50mm fixed lens, either the 1.8 or 1.4 for your best pictures.  I prefer the 1.4 but it's double the price.  The kit lens is ok but it will be the limiting factor in your pictures with the 7100 which will out-resolve any of the bs kit lenses.
