Fantastic photos OP. Only suggestion is to either get a light meter or write down your exposure settings. Your exposure is getting washed out when you have the headlights on because your camera is compensating for the extra light emitted. After you have the right exposure in aperture priority, without the headlights, use manual mode with those settings. Everything else is perfect.


The easiest way is to just set your metering to spot meter rather than area, and then meter the spot you want with a single focus point. Then if that isn't the spot you want to focus on, just AE lock the exposure with the AE lock button.. and then focus on what you want.

Or, just shoot manual.





Boost Lee, Your car was what helped convince me to get an MB Z. I love the way it looks, simple and clean. Looking at it right away you may not realize its modified [to the untrained eye] until you really start to pay attention. That is the kind of car that I like... because it all flows and looks like it is meant to be there.

Or that....

Like I said. I like using what the camera choses as a starting point and switching over to manual. Spot metering doesn't always get it right, but it does get you close most of the time. I don't like having to go through the AE lock process after every shot. Once you get the settings right in manual mode, you can shoot away knowing every shot is consistent and only concern yourself with composition. I like having a light meter even better for situations like this. It's basically a giant studio with fixed and controlled lighting.
