Took some picturess of the Cobra with new Nikon D5000

[cobra_matt]

I picked up a Nikon D5000 with the kit lens the other day (AF-S DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR). It's my first SLR, and was recommended to me as a beginner camera. I'm still trying to figure out all the settings and adjustments that go with different shots. These are some pictures I took today, let me know what you think and how I can make them better. Also, what kind of settings do you guys use when taking pictures of your cars (aperture, iso, etc)?

Awsome. How much do they run for? I feel like getting one but Idk to go Canon or Nikon.

I got it from Best Buy for $799.99 + tax = $877.99. MSRP is $850. For the body only, I think the MSRP is $700 or $750.

Nice pics! Clean Cobra too. I like that last shot the best. :rockon:

A good all around aperture for car pictures is 7.1. If you have the lighting the less iso the better. Other than that, it's all about position, using natural lighting, and scenery.

Very nice dude.

Thanks, I used Adobe Lightroom 2.4. For the HDR picture, I used Photomatix Pro 3.0.

Thank you for the info!

wow you got reamed on that deal. You can get a d90 for that much. There's really no thing as a beginner camera, you just gotta get used to it :beer:

Beautiful car and beautiful pictures! I'm so jealous of that camera. Still learning on my D60 though...

Pics look good and will only get better as you practice. Great investment! Cant wait to see more pics.
