i thought so too, but zach is going nuts...haha
i need you to teach me some tricks with my camera, pics arent that great but here are a couple from yesterday, the other "fresh" cars werent able to make it out, here locally i got an 07 wrx lowered on volks, 00 Si slammed and clean as ***, also a hatch slammed that is too clean as ***, s14 with a kouki front end swap, 01 em2 civic and another tc. so we should be getting a shoot together soon. here are a few new ones on mine, only thing different is my vc is painted "played out" wrinkle red, still need pull a ring out of the front to drop it alittle more. And i posted a untouched pic to show you how the black seats look purple in the sun and i hate it

well idk if this will work as a "tip" but most of the pics look like your standing up from a distance and snapping them, get in weird, different positions and you're shots will definitely have a different feel to them.
LOl i never knew you had green interior pieces, looks good Weelo
Also it seems like your shooting in broad BROAD daylight, which is FTL :/ maybe earlier in the am or shortly before sunset are the best times

yeah, i was shooting at around 4pm i wanted to get out early, but couldnt so that was the best i could do, and i need to learn the setting on the camera for day, night and so on. i def need some advice and will not be mad at anything anyone says when it comes to taken pics, this is the first "decent" camera i have ever used. i have always just had point-n-shoot

i assume you have the 18-55mm lens since we have the same camera lol ...i actually really like that lens. i'm looking into getting the new prime af-s 35mm f1.8. i use my tamron 70-300 for macro and sports. its not as fast as the 18-55mm but the range is awesome. shoot me a PM if you have questions about the d40. i've had mine for little while now.
btw...car looks great man. i really like it.

a "cheat" i used to do to get used to manual in different situations, i would put it in auto....look at the object i wanted to shoot. then grab the same settings and apply them in Manual Mode. that's how i learned pretty much.

well i have a friend that does it for a living in the air force, however he has a d3...haha, but he got me a sheet with basic facts and good starting points, but i still have a problem understanding them, i have only used the camera like 3 times, so i guess with some more practice ill get good

And thanks for the comments. Hopefully I'll be doing some more to it soon, However I'm more then likely buying another car to mess with so the Tc might not be getting anymore big stuff done. Depends if this deal falls through or not

well i have been changing the car up here recently, i went ahead and swapped out the hood, hatch and garnish for the stock oem white stuff, also replaced my ebay grill with a custom badgeless one i made myself from an 07, and also go the car alittle lower, i just got back from taking a quick weekend trip to mississippi and got a few pics of it but the bugs on the front have me not wanting to post, and the fact that i raised the rear up before the trip cause i had 2 others riding with me, but im going to size them and upload them later tonight. and breaux dont get mad that i didnt stop by, i went through memphis on my way to jackson, but it was late sat night and we had to rush, then i arrived back yesterday and wasnt rolling through memphi till around 1030, and still had another 2 hours to drive and had to be up at 530 for work...haha, but ill be making it that way soon
