Not bad! I love the [NO PARKING ANYTIME] sign thats hidden under your cars

I'd love to take my car out somewhere and get some decent shots of it. Might take some hints from you.

Good work!

really like the lighting

the ships in the background look cool

good job, might take my car down there one night for some happy snaps

Not sure how come your camera hasn't picked up the tungsten lighting, as it shows up quiet obvious. Usually digital slrs in their early days are good at picking it up, but once they get thrashed out ridiculously (like mine) they barely pick it up.

Play around with the white balance settings if the shots are looking too yellow, or too blue etc. Somtimes the colour cast can be used to good effect.

To do a good white balance, set the white balance to 'auto'

then put the camera in like P or Auto mode

get a sheet of shit paper and take a photo of it on the correct exposure (so not under, or over exposed)

then go to your custom white balance settings and choose that photo to base your white balance on

....then SWEEET... you're ready to shoot

put camera back in manual or whatever mode you want after that.

In your case, you probably don't need to shoot a piece of paper but the white Skyline.

Try and focus properly these are soft and unsharp, good first attempt though.. What lens? Just the 18-55mm kit lens?

[br3ndan]

17 - 44 i think.

Thanks for the inputs, in regards to lighting and focus... I will take them into mind when i take some more photos!! if only it stopped raining =(. Eager to play with it!!

does the accord+T pull hard ?

[br3ndan]

250HP at the wheel on safe tune.

However clutch is giving up, so he is replacing that soon.. then tune it again. Hopefully bigger figures..

This is his second engine! .. the first one shat it self after 2 months of turbocharging!! Hopefully this one last longer this time round haha...
