Parking Garage Photoshoot

WARNING LOTS OF LARGE PHOTOS!

My friend (Isam on here) just got his FD back after a few months of down time (tree > fd). So we decided to take our cars out for a some photos at a local parking garage, and I decided to share. Enjoy, and yes I know my car needs a wash....










This one kinda out of focus but I thought it was neat:

These pictures are ******* B-E-A-T-I-F-U-L man! I love the first picture!!!!!!
It shows the evolution from the FC to FD real nicely, but also shows us how timeless the lines are on both cars. Very beautiful machines, thankyou!

Thanks guys. Yeah those taillights were made by the previous owner, they are rotors cut out of raw carbon fiber.

I'm using a Nikon D40 with the standard 18-55mm lens. The iso was set to 200 and I think the white balance was set to Fluorescent, and they are all long exposure of around 5 seconds with aperture set to about 4. Thanks for the compliments guys and I look forward to doing more....

Well I'd just say that the FD needs to be balanced a little better. Stock front end, sleek headlights, aftermarket front fenders and hood, and it looks like stock exterior everything all the way back to the rotor headlights.

Thanks again for all the compliments and just taking a look. On pic 8 I was using a tripod, it was a moving shot (didn't come out like I expected). I understand the comments about the FD being unbalanced but the reason was isam (the owner) got into a wreck and it was cheaper to get the Feed wide body fenders then stock. Don't worry it will come together soon enough enough. And I wish there was somebody with a red 1st gen in my area.
