Little dark, but both are looking good.

part 2 of our photo shoot is in the 3rd gen section. Check it out.

advice: try using a tripod and don't use flash (unless using bounce flash, which i haven't experimented yet). If you're camera is pretty decent, you should be able to set the setting for no flash (to make things easier) or to set it for Av (aperture value) or Tv (time value -- shutter speed). Night shots require lots of time, and at least some sort of light source. The whiter the better (florescent makes excellent night shots). Unless you have photography experience, full manual :)

Come on dude, the rice mobiles are laughing at you.. Those wheels must be altered..~~

The camera i used is actually a good camera, but it is messed up. My dads Nikon D80 is VERY GOOD. I already took some pics during the day, but the location and pics wered thought out right. Their in the 3rd gen pics on of the last pages. WEre gonna go up angeles crest one of these days and take pics. Those will be nice.

As for rims, i like the stock ones, but eventually im going to get Volk ce28n when i have $$$

Don't take this the wrong way, but the camera has little to do with how well the photos turn out. My friend started out with a Canon A75 point and shoot, and his stuff back then was at DSLR level. Once he got a Canon 10D, his work only improved more and more. Practice makes perfect. :)

come on man, quality pics have a lot to do with camera. Maybe settings of the camera help,so will manual mode, but there is a threshold.

No, I definitely agree. You can't get the same quality that you get on a DSLR with a P&S. However, a good camera can't teach composition and lighting, etc. Those are exclusive to the photographer. :)

hrm... NOT exactly true. The lens kit that comes with almost all canon EOS (from the rebel line (300, 350, 400D) to the 20-30D's all use the same crappy 18-55mm cheap glass kit. Some of the higher end P&S canon's are equipped with better lenses than the factory lens that canon provides for their DSLR's. (excluding the awesome 5D or the 1D Mark 2 full frame). Example the S3 IS has a superior lens than the 18-55mm.

When you're talking about quality, remember, it's not how many megapixels one can use, but the quality of the sensor and sensor size. learn compositions and lighting before moving towards a SLR. Also, different color cars require different backgrounds. Never shoot between the times of 10:30AM to 2:00PM. Everything turns out flat, and lack contrasts of early morning or later afternoon. Best environment is controlled lighting (studio). Slap a filter on if you need to.

my favorite pic, and the pic i dedicated to dave segalla (R.I.P.) for helping me pick her out:

I'm not saying it's the best picture out there, but I could've taken the same exact shot with a S3 IS.

shots you cannot take with a point and shoot:

and

actually you probably can, as long as you are able to set for a long shutter!

Anyway, i'm not here to tell you "i'm better at photography than you". I'm just helping out a fellow aspiring photographer! (i'm still learning too!)

Oh no, I definitely understand this. However, none of my photographer friends ever stick with kit lens. What I mean is talent is apparent, even when the hardware may be limiting. Those are nice shots, and you have to have an eye for composition in order to set those up. Here's a few of my friend's shots, I made sure to stick with the RX-7 theme:

Sick Picture!

ArmenMAxx 03-19-07 07:47 PM

yea, i def can learn more about taking pics. I want to buy a filter for my dads D80 which dosent allow any reflections to show. I need to mess around taking pictures to really get the feel of it. Hopefully this weekend if the weather is good, ill show you my wanna be photagrapher shots.

nice, I've never had the opportunity to play with those filters, but they look fantastic. I hope to see more of your photos.

maduhbee 03-19-07 09:57 PM

what you're looking for is a circular polarizer. If you know your RGBCMY chart, it'll help you filter out what color you wanna filter out in your shots (so you know what filter to get). Learn the manual settings of your dad's D80 (shutter adjustments and aperture adjustments). At first, you may be starting off using full auto. This will help your composition/line techniques. Later, when you become more advanced, you'll learn more about lighting (shutter/aperture adjustments). You can take a basic photo class at your local community college, and they'll teach you everything you need to know about a camera!
