Well guys I finally bought myself a D-SLR camera (Nikon D40) and tonight was the first night I got a chance to take some pics with it. Bare in mind that I am REALLY new to D-SLR cameras and was basically just messing around with things tonight. I didnt mess with too many of the settings and was trying to get the feel of the camera. I think these pics are pretty promising as to what I will be able to do with it! The Blue 07 SS/SC is mine and the Black 07 SS/SC is bens aka BoostnO7.







^^^This is actually my car (laser blue) I just thought this was kinda cool




^^^^ My personal fav

Comments and suggestions welcome as always!!

OMG those r the clearest pics...nice cars BTW

 

NICE, look really good for the first attempt!!

 

THANKS MAN! I am really new to taking pictures but I absolutly love doing it (hence why I bought the SLR) I was amazed that in some of the pics you can see the stars in the sky!

i think the kit lens for the d40 is 67mm, check out this polarizer.

(make sure you buy circular, and not linear)

 

Pics look great, maybe i should invest in a nice camera like that

 

it will GREATLY reduce reflections in the sides of the car

its not all about the camera, its what you do with it

 

^^ AWESOME I was wondering about that (the glare) as I was taking the pics 2night!

^^ SO TRUE!! My camera was set on the medium setting for 2night. I was only using half of the mega pixels I could have. But I have said it before and I will say it a million times, mega pixels are not everything!

Lenses a good camera make not MP. Get a nice 2mp SLR camera and go crazy. I have seen some just amazingly beautiful pics with them.

 

yeah unless you intend on printing large copies, using them in big projects there is no reason to shoot in the large setting...

if internet posting is all you'll be doing then M is the way to go. Im glad you know how to resize pics too , some ppl suck at that

 

hahahahaha I figured no one would want to see pics that take 15 seconds to scroll across and down.

 

Oh and for tuning your pics if you don't want to invest money in a photography application may I kindly reccomend you check out GIMP. It is a freeware utility with a lot of power for digital image manipulation.

 

^ Thanks man I will check it out!

Mike

 

Bumppp

 

this a little closer to what #2 should look like?

Nice how much did that camera cost?? Ive been shoping around and i have no clue what im looking at lol

Mike

Man I wish I had a camera that would take pics that clear at night . Nice SS and pics .

 

Did you color correct in photoshop?

The blue scale is still a bit rich, but thats damn near close, using photoshop
