I think you did a fantastic job!

there is a Audi R8 identical to that one that I have seen on C-470 a handful of times. ...

The Dodge came out smoking man, defaintly looks nice and crisp.

Pic 3 and 4 look somewhat soft. Probably cause the 5.6 aperature gives a narrower DOF, and yer sitting between 33 and 41mm,..

If you go back, try the same shot again, bump the Fstop up a couple stops for a smaller aperature which will increase the DOF. This should help on the softness. I suspect the camera is just having a hell of a time metering on that car cause yer running spot metering with featureless white area dead smack in the middle. Probably plays hell with the metering. Try a center weighted metering next time and see if that helps

I also see you are running shooting in full Manual mode... whaddup gangsta.. lol.. Props on the pics.

The R8 is gorgeous man!

Hey, i dont know if you have messed around with it much but something you might like to try on this with photoshop.

layers - new layer via copy

Then go to Filters- Sharpen - Unsharpen Mask and try bumping up the sharpness a little bit and see how that treats ya. Make it a small change, then when you apply it hit CTRL- F a bunch of times then you can pop through the history tab and check it at various levels of sharpness and see if any of those do anything for you. I would imagine with the lines and reflections on the car it will really make them pop

ive become a major fan of the Unsharpen mask.

Yeah, I haven't tried any photo editing in PS yet...Right now I'm using LR2 to mass export the raw into jpegs, and then I resize them w/border and watermark in PS. I figure I'll work on editing later....

And yes I am shooting in full manual mode thank you very much. I told you I'd be shooting manual before you knew it. :smokin:

Here are some more...

...still deciding on if I should post some others. I have A TON of the Taurus SVO, and a couple of the SVT Raptor, but they didn't come out very well at all I don't think. But maybe I'll post them up later anyway.

the cadillac shot -people would have been very nice. rest are pretty good for an autoshow.. should have layed down the law and told to people to get out the damn way.

Naw, I'm more of the patient type. Although, the more time I spent there, the more and more it pissed me off that people were getting in my pictures. Actually thought about picking up a kid and tossing him into another vehicle because he had managed to get into 15 of my pictures...little punk was stalking me.

Chris-
I'm not going back. This year, anyway. With the weather that we're gonna get tomorrow, there is NO way my car could get there. Even if I could get there, the ramps in their parking garage are so steep I'd slide right back down again.

taurus SVO. AND I WANNA SEE THE RAPTOR.

It's actually the SHO Taurus, I just had SVT on the mind when I posted that.

Nice pics King. I missed the auto show here in San Francisco. The silver vipe with the black rims is sexy as well as the R8. The DBS is sweet too. Keep up the good work.

I wanna see the SHO taurus. So far, that car looks amazing!

I wanna see more of the 2010 GT500. lol

I don't have any extras left. I deleted them because they were shot so poorly. Anyway, google it. It looks the same in person as it does on google pretty much.

Awesome photos Nick! I love that last photo of your do with the paw prints in the snow...

Okay so my brothers car is at the paintshop until Thursday, so we went over to Enterprise Rent-A-Car today and picked up this bright, punchy little punk....

And now just a weather shot to show that Evan isn't the only one having fun with the clouds lately...(neighbors house)

Attachment 18957

That focus is fugly

I think your car is BAD ASS!!! King How did you learn to take such awsome photos?? and what did you pay for your camers(with or without the lens?)

I never "learned" how to take "awesome photos", but I'll accept the compliment :D I just wing it...anyway, I got my camera from Pyxis Camera on Ebay for $750 it was a package deal - XSi body, 28-90mm, 75-300mm, wide angle adapter and telephoto adapter...

Awsome deal, and your welcome I try to take pix of my car but not all of them seem to turn out well i think its just that i need better backgrounds, cause well my car aint the problem lol and my camera isnt like an 800 dollar camera but it takes decent photos. I wanna get me a Cannon with a huge lens so i can pull things in from a far but anywho...I love your car lol considering i am not a fan of yellow cars, you did good with yours makes me think twice about em lol

Yeah...it's all of the black accents. A lot of folks try anthracite and chrome on them thinking that on a bright car shiny things must go with it...but that is simply not the case. Since it's such a bright car, you need dark accents to balance it out. Otherwise, it's rough on your eyes.

Yeah like i wanna do sumthin to accent my car but idk what yet i was thinkin like grey rocker stripes or center stripes but idk really.

http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/Mustang2.jpg

Lemans stripes don't look good on our cars, and rocker stripes (excluding mach stripes of course) look cheap.

If your car were mine, first thing I'd do is swap the wheels out (sorry, not a fan)..From there, I'd drop it, add a chin spoiler and go wingless.

You need to lower your car king.

Now

I can't...I bottom out enough as is in this town. I can barely pull into my own driveway without scraping already.

then you need a new driveway. Its a simple fix.

Where there's a will there's a way mother fucker

Who wants to buy this new driveway for me?

just give me your mach. Ill give you my car. problem solved.

Your car would scrape just as much if not more... <<--- FTL

just back in your driveway then you wont scrap.lol

Done it, still scrape.

Hell, I scrape around here in FL. I couldn't imagine it in CO or PA (where I used to live).

I'd still do it, King. It would look badass. :)

Yeah, I'd like to do it eventually. But not right now. I couldn't even if I wanted to unless someone wants to pay for that too....?

You all can tell that I was shooting through a fence, I'm sure. But other than that, I think these came out okay. Not perfect, but okay.
