im in a photography class and im in the process of shooting for my final project, none of these pics are for sure going to be included, but i thought they were worth sharing. im using a nikon d40. for the middle of day shots, a polorizing lense was used. let me know what you think

 

the rest have to big of file sizes to post without destroying the clarity of the pics. the ones i posted are actually way sharper on my comp, but posting them up subtracts from the clarity and overall quality

 

I love the first pic.

 

First pic is insane! How did you set up the camera for that?

 

i strapped the camera down with a tripod so that it was leaning up against the speakerr bar in between the seats, i just drove around with a 13 second shutter speed and my wireless shutter button taking pics while driving and that's how it comes out

 

Cool pics.

 

very nice! You should have come to the meet last weekend.... can't wait to see your car in person one of these days!

 

First pic is insane and awesome

 

love the first pic...share more!

 

That first pic is awesome, the 3rd is cool too with the close up of the work wheel.

 

very nice pics

 

now i know what a D40 is capable of! thanks for sharing your shots

 

Ya I was actually thinking of picking one up too. Not bad for a $600 camera. Anyone else using this camera?

 

The first picture is really soft in all aspects, you said you were using a 13 second shutter speed? You might want to try a little faster if you havent already . I'd say something around a 5 second shutter speed while driving would do it.

The other 2 are pretty good for the D40, decent DOF and quality. On the second one i'd go wide open on the aperature (lowest F stop) and focus on the front of the car while blurring the back, it'll look alot better.

what kind of remote shutter release are you using?

 

sweet

 

i do...... i bought for $714 when it was release. came with d40, 18-55m, 2G sd card, and a lame camera case.

best buy have them on sale @ $749 or 779 i think. came with d40, 18-55mm, 55-200 tele lens and a case. i should have waited the 55-200mm lens by itself cost around $300. better get them

 

Nice pics! I've thought of doing the first one myself (actually tried while driving to orlando just by setting the cam down). The tripod or camera mount is a must for it to work.

Just curious, but are those wheels the +28's or the +20's?

Car looks real nice, by the way.

 

nice ride!

 

thanks for all the compliments guys! much appreciated

yeah i did try differant shutter speeds and the actual files on my computer are far faaaar sharper than posting them up here. im still trying to find a way to host the images and have them retain their quality because they're all very large files. the nightime driving pic is actually ver sharp and none of that noise and pixelation is visible. i do actually have some pics with the aperture set at the lowest f-stop and they did turn out pretty well, but i got tired of trying to shrink the files small enough to get them on here so i gave up haha
