Dropped my Kit off to get painted yesterday, and I thought I'd get some shots in before the face lift... just to remember how it looked like.

Anyways, been messing around with ISO, aperture, and shutter speeds with the point and shooter. These are some of the better pics... with some night pics thrown in.

Just wanted to show guys you can still take a great shot with P&S. Enjoy.

BTW, no post processing. But low light conditions are kinda noisy. This is where I wish most for an SLR. God that Canon XTi is calling!

 

sparkly!

 

Weird, I think they have a filter to make the lights do a star formation like that.. forgot what it's called..

 

MMMMM' Advans.

 

Yep, called a 4-star filter.

I don't think the XTi has hit the shelves yet, but there is so much on my plate that I know I'm not having it for another 3 months at least. I'm gonna have to shell out for the paint of the kit, and the kit itself put a hefty dent in the wallet. Now I have to buy a new iMac so I can cut my nephew's Baptismal slideshow in Final Cut, which should blow the relative's away at the party. I realize Final Cut for a slideshow is overkill, but this is gonna be different. Then there's a killer looming... yep, Christmas Maybe the XTi's gonna have to wait for 6 moths.

Although seeing your (Leemik's) pics just makes my want to go to B&H and just preorder the goddamn XTi. Just trying to shoot a simple blurred depth of field shot has yielded frustrating results. I tried extending the zoom to full, no dice. Also, I'd like controls like setting Aperture, Shutter, or ISO that you don't have to navigate a screen to adjust.

Guys, if you're still reading, I did learn one thing that is true for sharp, great pictures... USE A TRIPOD!

 

wat kind of rims are those and how much were they? also the intake vent that u have cut into the bumper, did u cut that urself or did u have to change the bumper?

 

BTW that puppy looks sick

 

damn looks clean good job.

 

You cut it yourselft. Just use the supplied template. You can see the process in the first post of this thread as well as some more pics of the car. I'll have a C-West lip kit on soon. Just hoping the paint don't get botched like my HKS exhaust did. THX for the comments guys. BTW, the rims are Advan RGII (you can learn alot about my car by looking at my sig ). There's I think 3 of us here with these wheels. More for the performance crowd as you'll see them used by C-West and Yashio Factory cars almost exclusively. I know HKS are starting to use Yokohama/Advan also. Volks are great, but IMO the best alternative reads ADVAN. JDM Option used them on the run where the STREAM Z wiped out in Nevada, if you're questioning quality. They don't F around when they do that kind of speeds.
