nice pics :tup:

Thank you!

that location looks similar to a cover of import tuner i have, its got the flat black v8 swap gs300

Nice pics. Would have liked to see them in HDR.

Stay Classy!!

Nice pics.

Im not to much of a fan of HDR, I would rather see the image for what it is but maybe i will put one together for ya.

Thanks for the comments guys!

@fairladyZ34 It is the coronado bridge in the background, and the car is siting on the edge of a boat ramp.

looks sick!

Ko0 pICs :tup:

awsome pix, was that taken on coronado side?

Yeah, it was taken on the Coronado side Rudy, there is a spot on the other side that i would like to shoot at again but it is in the park, and to be honest it is better to be there with a few people. So I have not been back in about a couple years to that location. There is or was a pier we could drive out on and shoot. I had 3 VW GTI's... about the same weight.

i think we should do it

great photos! Z is looking Clean!

Let me know when, weekend night are best for me, or week nights, other then Mon, Tues, and Thurs if we go to the pier it would probable be best around 1-2am if you want to go to this spot i shot here before 8pm(the stadium lighting in the area helps a lot and goes out at ~9pm), unless you have a strobist setup, i might have my kit built by the first week of october. there are a few other cool places to shoot in Coronado that i have shot at before that we can check out too.

Thanks again everyone!

if you have this would you be willing to scan and post it im curious!

my scanner is broke :( ill try and find it online

found it, heres the link. looks like the same place

Not sure where that one is to be honest(Didn't read the article focus was on the images), but a very similar shot, the bridge in the background of the images i shot, if you were to look at it from over head would form a backwards "L"... those photo's did give me some good ideas though. Thank you for finding and posting that! It is appreciated!

your welcome bro! :)

damn good camera

Thanks, it isn't all the camera though...

A lot goes into the comp of a photo, for example, what are you looking for the pictures message to send if based on a subject, i can't express lighting enough, lighting is key. Practice, is everything too, for me this is one of the best photo's i have shot in a couple years as i put the hobby down. If lets say for example you chose to spend your time on photo forums, instead of here or just allotted some time, to that, and made it of interest you could pick it up just as fast as you would with installing a twin turbo on the 370...not the best comparison, but never the less.

Ive had my 50d for about 2-3mo First DSLR before that i was using high end point and shoots, i outgrew them didn't have the money to go dslr one day i said screw it and acquired it. From then it has grown, and become more of who i am again, as i lost myself while i was in the military.

sorry for the rant but hopefully that helps explain that it is about your desire and willing to learn, not just your gear, this night i shot about 100-150 images before i finally got what i wanted, different settings and adjustments.(some nights when i was getting back behind the lens i will shoot if i have time up to about 500-1000 and get nothing because there is a lot to figure out)
