New pics with new cam. Pros please help!!

[M.P. Cobra Fan]

I felt like being productive, so I clayed and polished the car. Then since I bought a Nikon D40 this weekend I decided to try to take a picture. Now I have NEVER used anything but a point and shoot, and I have not retouched these at all yet. Once I can reinstall Photoshop cs on this computer I will play with them. Plus I need a lot of practice with this camera. I can't wait to get my new lenses and filters.

Any tips from those of you with experience would be great. Thanks.

That is one big truck.

 

[M.P. Cobra Fan]

Very bad location to shoot. The ones with the flag pole are the worst of them. The subjects are great and the quality of the camera is good too (I have a D40 as well). You are taking away from the subject when you shoot in a "busy" location. The eye wanders away from what you are trying to shoot. Stay away from things growing out of the hood and roof like that flag pole. We just did a photo shoot behind a warehose that the only thing behind our cars was garage doors.

Not bashing your pics just saying your location sucked for pics. Pick a better place and fire away!!!

Lololololol I thought you were taking pictures of a car with a new camshaft in it.

I was gonna ask why.

I promise a truck exactly like that, wheels, color etc.. drives around the Tulsa, OK area. Very weird.

I Understand completely what you are saying. The place I wanted to go to was much less busy as you put it, but because of road construction I could not get in. Your comments are exactly what I am looking for though.

I ordered one today.

No kidding. I have to see that.

Thanks man.

I think he is referring to problems Tundras had with some serious frame rusting. But that's a tacoma. :burnout:

 

[M.P. Cobra Fan]

Ahh! I understand now.

the tacoma's had it as well, up to 2004 is the limit so far


but enough thread hijacking....

I think a major problem is that you picked a place that is the same color as your car. So it all blends into one, and gets kinda boring. Sorry if that's harsh, but just my suggestion to find a place that's an entirely different color background, so the car stands out more.

Hey man do you have any pics with the top up? I've been thinking of painting my pillars black when I get a black top.

 

[JonBeast]

Looks great man...I'm interested in the black pillars as well, do yo u like them? I've always toyed with this idea but I've never seen it before.

From dull, to wet to dramatic.
