WOW, amazing car and amazing pics! I love every inch of it. The progress pictures are a really nice touch too.

i like that lens, takes nice wide shots, ur iso is set too high, thats why its a bit grainy.

Looking at your seats makes me cringe again... remembering getting out of them brings nightmares!

I love how they hold me in, but dam they are like grip monsters on your body!

Pics look great! what happened to the charger? you plan on boosting? or you done with CA emmissions

[fEPst3r]

set the iso at 200-400 and that should be fine, shots are fine just grainy it just takes time, practice, and alot of messing around.

Always read about the car, seen the pics, maybe i'll actually get to see it in person since i just moved to socal from chicago 4 days ago. Let me know when you guys meet up again. I'd love to meet the SoCal guys.

I like that amber color in the sky. Nice. My widest lens is 28mm. I want to go W I D E R. lol

Can I make some suggestions. Shoot at ISO 100 using a tripod. Shoot on countdown timer mode so you don't shake the camera when you press the button. Then shoot at your smallest f stop, f 22 or whatever to get your whole car in focus. f 2.8 will just make part of the car in focus. The exposure will be long. Try filling most of the frame with your car.

A flash photo of your car with the sunset behind it will look the best. But you have to leave your lens open long enough for the sunset to show up on the film and not just look like a black sky. Right when the sun goes down and out of sight you have about 30 minutes to take a good shot. Assuming you have a sunset in the first place.

Always shoot RAW with the biggest file size. Think about getting a couple 8gb memory cards. Newegg.com has 'em cheap.
