Took these after work with my new camera, Nikon D60. Still getting aquainted with the DSLR, I have yet to grasp the great powers that they hold. It was freezing out and I just wanted to snap a few pics before I left! So I just did one angle, when it warms up this weekend I'll get some more.

 

great pix bro. looks really good.

 

Great shots of a beautiful car. Those pix look like you know your way around a camera.

 

Is that a Taffeta White in the background? What a beautiful car!

The pics are pretty nice, you should post more.

 

here is another one i took at 5:30 in the morning the other day, i still had that eye haze so it looked in focus when i took it lol, all the pictures i took would have turned out nice if my eyes wouldn't have been blurry lol.

 

not bad man. i just picked up a brand new d40 for $200 today

 

nice pix ..like tghat first one

 

If you invested in a tripod of some kind you would love your pictures.

 

What kind of fogs you got on there?

 

i got one for free.99, I just need to put a shim in it because it leans to the left lol, that out of focus one is because i had it in manual focus mode and my eyes were still hazed up from sleep, the first post pics were with no tripod.

Fogs are 3000k hids. $60 kit of ebay lol

 

I'm looking to do that too ... I got the SSM like yours... did you have to take off the bumper to mount the ballast on there?

 

Nope, you need to jack the car up though. Take out two screws in the splash shield and two clips in the wheel well slide it out a bit and you can work around up there pretty well.

 

hey you got a D60! so did i just a week ago, the camera is so much better than my point and shoot camera hehe

 

Exactly. Your pictures aren't blurry because of bad focus, they are blurry because you are hand holding the camera at shutter speeds of 1/10, 1/4, and 1/2 second (according to the EXIF data in your pics). At those long exposures needed for night shots, it's almost impossible to get a sharp handheld shot, even if you are using a lens with image stabilization. A good tripod will go a long way. Or, if you have to handhold, find something to steady yourself on, and set the camera to bracket 3 shots at .3EV exposure steps, and hold the camera completely still while it takes all three photos in a row. The first one is usually blurry for me, but the second two are usually pretty sharp.

 

Great shots of a beautiful car.. One question about rear spoiler ;
in my country rear spoiler is not same as your so is it standard in your country or optional

 

The rear spoiler is standard (factory installed) for our "Sport" trim.


Nice pictures dirtybird222. Thanks for sharing.

 

I need to read up in the manual on how to do that lol. Always used a point and shoot lol. And thanks guys.

 

hey, the fact that you had it in a mode other than AUTO to even get a shutter speed of 1/10 sec. has over half of the DSLR owners out there beat. pics look great man. and yes, read the manual! DSLRs have so much creative potential if you are willing to experiment and know the functions/features of them.

again, nice pics and thanks for sharing...we could use some more quality shots around here.
