DSLR Pics: Vintage Triumphs with the Canon EOS 40D

I was getting lunch at Fat Dan's the other day when a gaggle of Triumph motorcycles pulled up over at Yat's, so I ambled over for a closer look.

The 40D was wearing the excellent EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS zoom lens, which is probably the best glass Canon made for their crop-sensor DSLRs.

I'd been shooting moving cars and the camera was set to Program Mode with the ISO set to 200 despite the fact that it was a sunny day, in order to keep shutter speeds reasonably quick.

Between the good glass and the 10MP CMOS APS-C sensor, the photos are pretty reasonably detailed.
