more picture whoring :-D

+new pics of the teins slammed all the way down on the 19's+

photo skillz are a work in progress so if you have something negative to say about the photos themselves please let me know what needs to be corrected shot with a nikon d70 SLR with fisheye lens, and stock lens.

if you have comments/questions or tips plz use the number of the pic so i can try to make sense of your tip!

my picture hosting sux cause it makes the pics alot smaller and changes the quality :-/

comments about the car are welcome as well

Wheels look pretty good. What's the width and offset? Also, I'd like to see a daytime side or 3/4 angle shot.

Very nice car mang!!!

As far as photography tips?

Get in a well lit area, like solid lighting so the back of the car isnt too dark, so everything is equal if you know what i mean. I like the lense you took the first 5 pictures, very nice lense.


So pictures are under exposed. Overall good quality car and good quality photos

ok you asked for it

some things:
1) Dont fish-eye every picture... it's unique but gets old quick! use only when needed and creating a special effect (ie: full-interior-shots, wheel closeups, front bumper/grille, a decal/logo/badge, etc)
2) Check your white balance. There seems to be too much green & turquoise going on in some of the shots. If you cannot / dont want to adjust white balance on the camera... you can always edit them in photoshop. But, of course, it's always preferrable to have better shots in the first place then to need to edit/fix 'em 1 by 1.
3) Exposure. Under exposure is apparent in about half the shots. Step up the steps by 1/3, 2/3, or maybe even 1 step. Play around and see what works better. You can't always rely on the auto exposure settings

im wondering how you stood so high to take some of them? did you lug a ladder along or something

overall good job. the car looks clean, and the location seems great. taking photos is all about practice, trial and error... you'll def do better next time and the time after!!

thanks for the tips man! the shots were taken with a nikon d70 which almost has more settings than i care to use LOL. i prefer the rebel xt just because of its user-friendlyness. i will deff try what you said next time about the white balance and stuff.

the pics came out turquoise i think because of the flourecent lighting messing with the cameras settings.

as for the height in some of the pics..im 6'1" and cam was on a tripod that i was holding at full arms length
