i do have gunmetal powdercoated wheels, but the front wheels are actually my friends, which are just spraypainted black, he has smaller tires so we were trying to see how the car looks lower. i guess thats kind of lame.

my girlfriend (avatar in case you wondered) used a nikon d200, 10.2 mp, however its not so much the mp as the light sensor and chip that the camera uses, many inferior cameras have some static in the pictures and not as sensitive to color, less rich, such as the d70 that she used to have, d70 pictures looked slightly better than my casio exilim.

the ones that have no glare and look like they are from a video game are with a polarizing filter over the lens. this car looks good in sunlight because of the gold flake, the yellow is brought out by the sun and in the sunset it looks more golden. the stock red just looks pink in bright light. which is what first drew me to this car.

What lens did you use with the camera? Those colors are amazing! No post-processing I presume?

it is a polarizing filter which screws onto a lens, kind of like sunglasses for the camera.

its a very nice color, not as expensive as some of the more premium colors. in less light its more of a wine color, as you can see here and also in the first few pics on my sale thread.

Under the right circumstances, these things can take an already beautiful picture, and make it even better. I bought a Canon EOS Elan IIe about 4 years ago and I still can't get myself to use a digital camera when it's something important (weddings, my kids, etc) as I know that Canon will destroy most any digital camera in quality.

What I like is taking pictures of extremely small things, like say an ant, bee, fly, etc and with it's macro setting and you can get pretty damn close and still have crystal clear quality.

If I ever repaint my car, I am seriously considering that color.

Haha, you know what I just realized? My mom's '99 Mercury Cougar is the same color!!! Thats pretty funny.


Oh, and the clear coat- is it tinted? Because your car has a much richer, more saturated look than my mom's car or that stang. Or is it just the filter that makes it like that?

the filter helps take out some glare and make it a bit richer, but its mainly dependent on how sunny or what kind of lights at night because of the gold underneath, also the meguiars 3 step really makes the car look like liquid. if you have the money, house of kolors or some other premium paint brand will look even better, but for a ford stock color, this does pretty well.

I always liked that color. My old Mustang was Laser Red. The clear is tinted a red/purple. Some color would show on the towel when I waxed, which was always a little disconcerting.

Also keep in mind, we dont' want to play a biased role here, and turn it into a "canon vs. nikon" ordeal. The photographer makes the exposures, not the cameras. When you're dealing with a D70, D80, D200, or a XT, XTi, 20D, 30D (350D, 400D) then it's really up to the photographer. I mean personally I've had some experience with the pictures. If the camera uses compression or anything other than RAW, then you can do some adjustments to the color: hue/saturation, image sharpening, contrast control, etc.

But most photographers would want to shoot in raw and leave the processing to photoshop as photoshop is MUCH MORE powerful than in-camera processing (even though they are doing the same thing).

And it's never about the megapixels... in fact, if you have a megapixel that's too large, then you'll actually get worse picture quality as each pixels on the sensor will be smaller, which translates to being that the pixels are less sensitive to light, which will cause you to loose detail. So the sensor size compared to the megapixel count is what matters the most. No camera measures color, they only measure light. Canon has their "L-series" lens which uses a professional grade glass in their lens to give a higher natural contrast and image sharpness, with minimal post-processing. Nikon has their "ED series" lens which also is a standard for professional grade glass. So in the end, it's really up to the photographer and their artistic view. Technicals can be achieved easily when the photographer knows what he/she is doing.
