Woo! (New car)

Finally got my fit! I really love this car.

I took a photo yesterday!



Yeah, I know I should have cleaned it... But the weather here sucks.

I've got a quick question... When I use my USB stick and select folders, it displays them in the order that I put them on the stick. Is there anyway to display them alphabetically? Thanks!

Ha, don't worry about cleaning it man. It totally looks like it belongs in that setting with a little weather on it.

Thumbs up That's a beautiful photo!

Your Fit looks pretty clean to me.

The lighting and background are really dramatic.

Sooooo, you live in Antarctica? Ahhh, Montana. About the same in winter.

Why does everyone have such cool photos that look like they were taken by a professional?

Congrads on your new Fit and really sweet looking pictures. You should see my car it is definitely wearing winter. I promised it that it would get washed and detailed this Thursday when I am off work. No matter what the next day brings.

Amazing picture. Could be a magazine ad for Honda.

This may be my favorite Fit photo!

And my usb stick displays and plays in the order I put them on.

Honestly I think a lot of them just have really good cameras and lenses. From my limited experience...you have to spend a bare minimum of $500-$600, and it needs to be an SLR or DSLR. I think they also tweak the ISO and other manual settings on their camera for each photo shoot. For the record I have a Canon A550...and all my photos look "regular"..

that pic looks sweet. It's actually a decent angle for the GE. I'm not a fan of the new tails or back end, but they normally look pretty good from the front/side. Anyone make smoke/red LEDs yet for the GE?

I forgot there was even a question, I was so taken by the photo. And it looks like most people forgot you had a question too.

Maybe it would be nice to have people post more info on what kinds of cameras and settings and such that they use to take photos.

And where the photo was taken too.

As there are groups of people that go for drives, one of these fine locations could be a destination. So that the group could take turns taking photos in spots with great backgrounds.

Bonus: If it's on your own property, charge a fee for access and charge to take nice photos of their cars.

Well, I took it with My Canon 40D with a Sigma 10-20mm lens (Really wide-angle). I used a circular polarizer so it cut some of the glare off my windows and darkened the sky a bit. All Parked on top of my tripod so I could get a longer exposure.

I processed it in Lightroom 2 to get that "Top Gear" look too. Didn't really do much besides dodge some spots and boost the contrast.

Oh yeah, It was taken in Bozeman, Montana in some random parking lot by the new development part of town.

Also, this is my deviantart if you guys wanna take a look at more photos: http://sytrus.deviantart.com/gallery

You have a great eye for photography.

Are you doing this for a living? (if not, why not?)

Have you done a gallery show? (if not, why not?)
