In memory of my badly damaged SSR... posting some recent shots i took before the accident.

If any socal-ers are curious as to where the locations are, the garage shots are from the Ikea parking garage in Covina, and the daytime ones are from the Pasadena City College CEC (not main campus) on Foothill Blvd in Pasadena next to the 210.

So, this is my first time trying out panning/motion shots. What I did was I had a friend moving the car forward slowly (1-2mph) with the wheel turned, and while he's doing that I am panning the camera with a slower shutter speed and higher aperture (~1/3" - 2/3", ~f8.0) to capture the image. Not sure if that's the best method to go about it, but I did manage to get 2 decent pics. I heard about this method from a friend. Does anyone know if that's right?

As usual, I editted the shots with photoshop, mostly contrast/brightness & color balance. No tripod used for the garage shots, cuz my hands are steady like that I love comments & constructive criticism! Thanks.

Gee. You had to finish the set w/this shot.
Ironically, this is my favorite. The composition and balance of the elements did it for me. Overall, they're all great. You have the eye.

boku is my fan!!


Canon 350d. it's my baby You are right that it does have a high pixel count (8mp), but i do want to note that high pixel count does not equate to crisp/clean/better/sharper pictures. Even when a mere 2mp shot is resized to the dimensions i posted, it can look ~90% as good, given that the original was well-taken and receive the similar touchups in a photo-editing program such as photoshop. It's a common misconception that uber-high mp means best quality so just wanted to clarify it abit.

thank you sir here's what happened... https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134107

I try! appreciate the kind words

awesomeee, would you like me to post higher-res of the one(s) you want?

yeahhh i hear cal poly's parking structures are a good place to take pix in the evening/night do it! i want to see how the place is. if it's as good as people say that can be my next location for photoshoooooot

yes sir it surely is!

thanks justin! suction mounts are awesome i'll probably pick up some of those toys down the line
