Recent Photoshoot with my new camera

[Seph]

I ended up buying the Canon 400D Rebel EOS XTi, I'm pretty happy with it but I'm dying for a new lens. This is with the stock lens. Little side story here..

I was about to wash my car, had the soap and things out ready to go and as soon as I stepped near the car it started to rain. I sat there laughing for awhile since the last time it rained was back in January or so. Anyhow, after it stopped raining (which was about 3-4 minutes) I washed the car.

Anyhow, actual resolution of the pictures are 3888x2592, but I resized them a bit for your sake.

Very nice. I need a new camera... my old one got stoled.

love the exhaust shot

n8r - Thanks bud, I ended up getting this camera because it went on sale. I didn't plan on buying it so soon, I was expecting to save up another couple of months but Office Depot had it for $719. Original price is $899. I went to Circuit City and they price matched it for me

Hottcobra - Thanks! Me too, I was trying to get creative lol I think I may edit the background and make it look better instead of a green house hose in the background :P I also like how the chrome isn't cleaned all the way, it makes it look kinda more aggressive to me.

yeah we got rain here too today. as usual, people were retarded on the roads, its one thing to go from dry to wet, but holy shit, give them rain in the summer and holy shit, its like putting a stick in the middle of an ant trail.

i think you need some mods yo. c-springs, grill delete, at least some bullits or something. mach1 lip and a cobra rear spoiler would own. unlike my mistake, i now realize less is more sometimes.

I love my grill, I would never opt out of it. I dunno, the honeycomb look to it looks kinda aggressive to me. Lowering it does interest me though, I was thinking about getting the bullitt suspension kit that includes the sway bar and springs if I am not mistaken. I was also thinking about getting the hood scoop too for more of an aggressive look. Mach 1 lips are practically on every Mustang I see around here, and I like me spoiler since most people have the 00-01 V6 Mustangs they have the spoiler that kinda curves around it, mine looks more like an actual spoiler.

The suspension kit isn't much for all you get, and the hood scoop isn't that bad either. But I might just buy a new hood instead of drilling holes in it ya know?

I like washing my car in the rain...keeps the whole car wet so nothing dries while you are washing different parts of the car...

Those pics are nice...I should learn how to take pics instead of being a point and click kind of person...

Thanks, yeah I got a lot of criticizing from my friends who have my kinda cameras and do more of a professional look to their shots. Mostly about the background :P They told me that the background is 90% of the 100% important of the picture. Which I can agree. If I could find like an abandoned track or something to take these on I would lol but it's California, most tracks are Swap meets these days..

Nice pictures. Just go find you an old building or bridge something simular to park next too.

Like this for example:

I'm browsing around in Google Earth for some decent areas. So far if I want a good building area I'm better off going to downtown LA but if I go flashing a camera over there it's liable to get jacked. I think I'll do the western thing and go by a ranch for some pictures. There's a bunch only 10 minutes away from me. Then I can easily do some open area shots just 15-20 minutes north of me.

I prefer to take pictures on roads. You just have to find unused ones...

[SpectorV]

looks good

just gotta be on the lookout whenever youre driving for a cool place to take pics. im constantly like "dam that would be a sweet panorama" or stuff when im driving along.

i found the parking garage that they took pics of "Eleanor" in "Gone in 60 Seconds" that i want to take pics at next time im down in LA with the GT.

no shit? I need to do some research and find that one lol
