Had a perfect day w/ excellent weather. Replaced some **** on my car and got to flex it out a lot today. It felt great! Had a blast and drove the usual loop. But yeah, super stoked. I'm still piddling w/ some more shots but here are the ones that I liked so far.

I love your clean seven and pictures you take...makes me motivated to keep truckin on my car lol its far from as clean as yours on exterior looks lol

 

i ALWAYS look forward to your pictures threads... such awesome pics!

 

need a camera like that great pics.

 

i used my wife's D80 to take pics inside the shop, I was not impressed- do you think I need a better flash then whats built onto the camera? Maybe I had it on the wrong settings?

 

you should have that guy with the rolla contact me im lookin to get my collection going again

 

nice

 

Great shots you got. The seven is very nice as well. Thanks for sharing.

 

thanks for the compliments! btw... my D80 body is for sale if anyone is interested.

 

damn those are some bad *** pics like always

 

Good pics man, I'm diggin that Corolla it's super clean. Always jealous of your scenery

You weren't shooting on Auto were you? (not trying to be a jerk but it's a legitimate concern) I rarely use the flash built into my D80, the only time it sees use is to remote trigger my SB-800. The camera really doesn't come into its own until you dive in and really adjust all the settings like ISO, white balance, shutter speed, and aperture. Even then lots of great photos you see usually have a lot of post production put into them.

I like to shoot straight from the camera, barely adjust color and then upload them. CS3 owns me. Sorry for the rant......

 

Uh oh..... What are you upgrading too? I've been shopping around for ages, probably end up with a D2x or D300. I've got a soft spot for them big bodies though.

 

Ok thats it, I'm moving out their. I need to go on these cruises.

 

the most expensive high quality gazillion MP DSLR in the world won't make you a good photographer. Cars are actually quite difficult to photograph nicely compared to a lot of objects. especially indoors.

hit your local library or Barnes and Noble, tons and tons and tons of reading on this.

lots of forums full of helpful people too, flickr groups, etc. if you are serious about learning ****. if you don't want to bother get a nice point and shoot.

 

^ What he said

 

+1 always great pics!

 

Pics remind me of Bear mountain near us. Not the quality though, i shoot with a fujifilm 2megaPOOPsil camera.

**** is beautiful.........cars, scenery, and quality pics. I think i spelled scenery wrong.
