After almost exactly one year, I revisited a favorite spot of mine and took some shots. Unfortunately, I screwed up the iso/exposure time and over exposed a bunch of them. Ah well...

very nice pics and car...what digi cam are you using?

 

thank you for the compliments.

Canon G5 (last year was a Nikon Coolpix 990). The G5 blows the 990 away with color reproduction and obviously 2 megapixels more capture ability.

I will go out tomorrow night and take some better ones now that I've hammered the ISO issues out. It didn't help that it rained going to this spot (the spot is about a mile away and it rained here but not there )

I suppose I should post a daytime shot, this one was taken yesterday:

 

nice lip

 

nice pics! they came out really vivid. Your night shots are amazing. I just got a digi camera and hope to take quality pics like those. Any tips? (besides upgrading to superior hardware? I got a Canon A70)

 

That color is beautiful. I wish my car was that color.

Nice Pix... Got that one in 1024x768 resolution??

 

Wow I'm lovin your Teg man. Very clean.

 

Great pics and car.

It woudl look better if the front lip and side skirts were painted.

 

Nice pics Tweak. Is that the Greddy Sport I saw in the back or was it my eyes playing tricks?

 

Thanks for the compliments guys, they mean a lot IM me and I'll upload a bigger shot for you to download...the native resolution on these is like 2500x1900 so they resize nicely.

-Get a tripod or rest the camera on the ground.
-Turn up exposure time and ISO. Mess around a bit. Try say 1sec exposure with 200 ISO.
-Turn off flash

Different cameras offer different settings. If you keep it on automatic and turn off the flash it should compensate enough to get a decent picture. If you have something like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop you can alter things later.

Nate - exhaust is an Apex'i WS. Got it for $50...flows bad but looks pretty good ...I'm turning into a ricer, I know it...

 

looks really good. The pics are good too. :d

 

damn, that is sharp

 

you use a lower iso for night shots right?

i haven't even begun to mess around with the exposure!! haha canon

You use ISO settings to control the image "noise". It's not considered an exposure setting. When taking night shots, you generally want to use a longer shutter speed, and a higher aperture setting, to allow more light to come in. That paired with a low ISO setting will usually produce a sharp picture, as you can see from his pics above.

 

thanks for clarifying.

Yeah many of these were around an ~f2.4 you want it open.

 

nice ride

 

Beautiful color, nice pics

 

thanks guys
