I've decided to move my picture posting from my DSLR practice shots to the local forums so i dont' keep bumping my thread on Media share even though i haven't done anything new to the car haha.

So here's the "acceptable" shots i've done so far with my D80 so far...feel free to comment on the photo composition/technique/etc.

These shots are in chronological order, so hopefully you'll see an improvement as I post more shots :P

Thanks guys and I hope you enjoy!

 

looks hot!

 

wow..looks damn good..saw a 350z in my neighbourhood today..427/derry rd..going onthe 427N ...i wonder if its anyone here.

 

nice Z. Paint looks pristine

 

nice pics, love your Z

 

camera skillz! looking good noodle.

 

You *****, you went to CG without calling me or rich or church or wayne or other circle jerks? hahaha


Oh, I saw a black track pack, pre-06 with a hot girl driving today. Anyone here

Dammit, why was I driving the Jetta -_-

 

haha ... wishful thinking if you expect a hot girl to be part of a web forum

 

amazing camera. nice car, too.

 

Nice pics noodle....I really like the profile of the headlights

 

Nice pics J, Z is looking sick!

 

Nice Pics, This one is my favorite

 

Nice pics , damn i don't see a spec of dust !

 

get a new tripod y0! it was too loose which will screw you over in the long run, especially for long exposure.

step by step on my thoughts, if you ever want some tips lmk.

1. awesome angle, although there isn't enough light thus washing out the details. another step back and to the left might have revealed some light from elsewhere in the garage.

2. out of focus & lights are starred a bit, but just looks like the tripod may have moved just a bit from when you were taking the picture.

3. fantastic, this is an excellent shot, although it would have been soooo much better if the lot was empty, but nothing you could have done about it, so as it stands, fantastic!

4. sleek, sexy, smooth and quite devious. i love this shot on an abstract level alone.

5. what can be said other than SDF FTMFW.

6. once again, nice use of the SDF. Brings the attention to what's important, and is really contrasted by the reflections. nice work jay

 

Weird, in Firefox I only get 1 photo (close-up of the Z emblem), in IE I get 2 shots (1 front quarter, 1 rear corner), nice shots regardless but (and I don't know a thing about photography) definitely a touch more light would help bring out a few more of the cars lines, looks good though (sick car too).

 

^^ photography is easy .. all you need to do is point and shoot and you don't even need pro equipment ... CELL PHONE CAM FTW!

 

i think something was going on with photobucket....seems to be working now.

thanks for all the props guys! gives me warm and fuzzy feelings about my car

thanks for the tips kevin! but yo, i figured out what was wrong with the tripod. I didn't loosen one of the *****, so when i was turning the camera it screwed off the bracket instead! haha, It's a good tripod!

 

sacrilege! you are not cut from any further circle jerks!

 

that's fine ... so long as i don't get cut from kev's super-amazing camera pic list

 

What lens do youuse? Great pics, I'll be picking up a DSLR soon, and cant decide. I love seeing pics like these, Id appreciate if you kept bumping your other thread as I dont usually venture into others local forums
