Cool! When you are taking pics make sure to try all sorts and change the F/ratio and the aperture as well. I really try not to use the flash because I find it just ruins the picture in most cases. So if you can get the settings right without using the flash you will get some great pics. Here are some example of my pics:





Enjoy the camera bro!

yes its only the windshield, and ya i was driving my brothers friend home, and heard a rock hit the windshield and looked at it and there was this crack taunting me. but thankfully its really low on the windshield and doesn't have any other points to spread which is good. i was gonna replace it in the spring anyways lots of chips and scratches from my window scraper.

Go to windshield surgeons. They were excellent to me when I got my windshield replaced and it was a reasonable price, $300 with the 2 year replacement warranty.

LOL Now Steve......you know me better then that!!!

I would never do anything to your car because you know as well as I karma is a bitch and it will come back to bite me. So I have always been the one to not do anything to someone else because it will always come back to haunt you.

Might have to hit you up on this since my exhaustive search for ways to do it cheaply seem to be fleeting at best...
