Whats up everyone. Well I got a lot of sleep last night and decided to wake up this morning and wash my car. I used the 3 stage deep crystal stuff from meguriars. I just went up the street and took some pictures. I also attempted some rolling shots. Well here are the pics...












Should I go down?

My first attempt at rolling shots...




Obviously I need to work on the rolling shots. Any advice on taking rolling shots would be greatly appreciated

Any input on the pictures is appreciated as well.

BTW, shots were taken with a Canon Mark II D1 with a 24-105mm lens.

Raise f stop to f/8-f/15 (Best way to find the best f-stop is to experiment, since it can vary), depending on the light situation, adjust light meter, and take the picture with steady hands. You want a shutter speed fast enough to get a sharp picture, yet a slow enough shutter speed to capture the car in motion.

Good luck, great pictures, nice attempt, love the car

Nice man, no security kicking you off school grounds?

Just practice on cars near a main road when your bored then when your comfy you can take your car and be impressed by the good shots =P

grenas17

Ya, that is something I will be doing more of the next time around
Haha, I was scared when I was lining my car up, because it was just me. No one was there to tell me how close I was. So I tried to get close enough toward where it looked cool, but so I didnt fall down a step and get stuck,haha
No security at the junior high by my house Just a janitor, but he didnt see. And plus, my brother smoked Huka with the janitor once so he is cool,haha.

Ya, I think I am going to practice a lot more whenever I get the chance. Practice makes perfect right

I used a Mark II DS. I am still getting use to it. It is an amazing camera that has all kinds of stuff that I have to learn more about.

ACCURATEin

I like that.

Good job with it.

grenas17

Thanks man. BTW, your TL is so sick. It is the reason I go on the TL side from time to time

Car looks great and is super clean. Just take down the permit thing hanging from the rearview mirror next time.

grenas17

Ya, I realized that after took my pictures. I usually keep it on because if I take it off, I will forget to put it back on and get a ticket at school. But for my next shoot, I will definitely take it off

Are those lights legal in california? The blue JDM headlights. I don't know if they are legal or not. I want em on my TSX. Hahaha.

grenas17

^^^
I am not sure if they are illegal or not in California. I have an orange bulb for my turn signal, and I think that is all you need. There are plenty of others in California that have these lights, and I havent heard of them getting in trouble for them.

I'm pretty sure they would be illegal in Cali but it isn't very noticeable...IMO.

Unless a cop wanted to be a dick...which a lot of them are in Cali...you're looking ok to me.

I remember looking at other lens tints (even though yours are not tinted) and things like that and they all have the disclaimer..."off-road use"

From what I remember...

grenas17

Yup, I guess my headlights are technically illegal in California. I was at Heeltoe yesterday and Marcus told me they were. It doesnt bother me though because I have had cops look at my car in admiration rather than them wanting to pull me over. I would rather look nice and distinctive and run the risk of a ticket

^ Must be nice to have a shop around you with knowledgeable people like Marcus.

From what I can see...it isn't that distinct and maybe that's because of your paint color...

So I think you are good unless you piss off a cop and they are looking for something to ticket you for.

grenas17

It definitely is nice having Marcus close to me, because he has installed everything on my car.

I usually drive mellow, so I rarely worry about cops when they are next to me.
