Default **Give a newbie some advice -- PICTURES of my riiiide....16+pics.. ***

Alright, I recently started getting into taking pictures and photoshopping them a little. i couldnt really find a good spot, and i'm getting tired of the whole "industrial" theme in pics, so i went for more of a scenic type of feel... not sure if i really captured it but it was worth a shot! my car is kinda boring to begin with so having trees and **** in the background doesnt help but its okay.

i've tried to keep it basic, but still kind of artistic, but on a few of the following pics i think i may have over done it a little, but its all part of learning, IMO... also threw in a little signature right at the last minute when i was playing around with PS actions and stuff like that.

PLEASE leave me some constructive advice/comments. if you dont like the pics thats fine, but let me know WHY please.. i'm just looking to learn a little here. i'm in no ways good at this stuff but i really enjoy doing it, so i'd like to improve on it!

hopefully you enjoy my pictures. thanks for taking the time to look















i actually left the sky in this one completley untouched. just re-sized and added the sig!















BORING shots:

Lets see here:
Stock body
OEM Honda wheels
Swap
Barely visible intercooler

I'd move the gauges onto the dash so they'd be less visible and make sure that you are tuned with some real engine management(think I saw a VAFC. Are you running the hack?)
Other than that it looks just like I would have done it.

gauges used to be were the apexi RSM is, but i didnt like not being able to see the boost gauge... i aggree though, the pillar mount is kind of played out, but i really like being able to watch my boost gauge out of the corner of my eye.

running a hondata tuned by st00pid... what you see on the dash is a RSM.

thanks for the comments everyone you make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

Picks are getting 10 times better. When you head back down to phoenix, hit me up if you want to and we will do a shoot.

Pics 1, 2 and 5 are sick.



It would be sick if you could find a place with just these trees without houses or any other type of building in the background....it would look sick IMO.

Nikon 4300

thanks man!! i can get really nice shots without most of the houses/cars in the background if i drive up on the grass, but there was a security type of guy in his car watching me, so i decided to just stay on the street.

as for a lip, i had a SiR style lip on for a couple weeks, but it was quickly owned on the highway by a blown out tire tread....

and i actually just traded my 99/00 tail's for the 98 tails i have now. i kind of like the stock tails more for some reason... more of a stockish feel i guess...?

thanks for all the comments guys!
