Awesome shots. For some reason that garage looks familiar, but I have never been to FL yet..............

SeeyaBud86 08-29-2011 08:25 AM

They came out nice man.

tonythetiger 08-29-2011 09:51 AM

Awesome pics! Love those wheels!!

Rickey89 08-29-2011 11:31 AM

nice pictures, so much so that a few of the shots are now saved to my computer for wallpaper backgrounds for my iphone and laptop,

makes me reconsider having gotten my z in brilliant silver,:(

NewYorkJon34 08-29-2011 01:10 PM

I'm glad to hear you guys like the pics, we take these for fun & also for the community to enjoy :tup:

Footloose301 08-29-2011 01:44 PM

Not bad Jon! I need to get an SLR

Zerafian 08-29-2011 01:55 PM

Its amazing what an extra $10-$12k in mods will do for your car lol. They are the same car but totally different.

I never relized how much better amuse rear looked then stock. Its a perfect comparison with two white Z's

KamiSpeed 08-29-2011 02:11 PM

cars look good, the wheel choices on both are great

dP3NGU1N 08-29-2011 02:22 PM

Great looking cars.

I don't like a lot of the photos though, a lot of composition issues and the whole off kilter camera orientation doesn't work if the car's not in motion. Photographers tilt the camera in order to give the viewer a sense of speed in a still frame, however, the rest of the picture needs to imply motion as well. If the picture is dynamic but the object is still then it looks like someone has a problem lining up their horizon rather than purposefully manipulating the viewer's perspective.

cc370z 08-29-2011 04:37 PM

Great looking pics & Z's. I've never been a big fan of the Amuse, but it white it looks very nice! Nice work gentlemen!

ScGRaceR 08-29-2011 04:42 PM

lookin sharp guys!

I knew there would be 1 person that got all technical about these pictures, lol

Not bad results since I just bought the camera four days ago. Plus the only lens I had on me at the time was my 70-300VR, so I had to take alot of the pictures farther back then I wanted to.

Thanks for all the compliments guys, we appreciate it as we did it for the community, alil rep couldn't hurt tho ;)

I'd suggest spending some time practicing your focusing, and learning your cameras AF system. Other than that and the composition, I think you're off to a good start.

The cars look great.

NewYorkJon34 08-29-2011 09:01 PM

I didn't really use the AF system too much, I took most of these manually focusing myself. This is my first SLR, so the more I use it, the better I'm getting. Thanks again for the advice.

At the next photoshoot I'll have my painted headlights, a different lens & hopefully some models ;)

Cars look great guys.

XPNSD IT 10-06-2011 04:39 PM

The 3rd one from the bottom is hands down the best! Great work

NewYorkJon34 10-06-2011 07:51 PM

I got my headlights painted, & already bought a better lens. Just gotta find some models ;)

mults 10-07-2011 06:55 AM

Nice pics...

I've had Nikons all my life and you have made a wise choice in cameras (and cars)! I just picked up a Nikon D7000 (to replace a Nikon D70) and I've only had it a week. Now that the leaves are changing, this time of year is perfect for "car shots".

I could also get all "technical" about your photos, but a photographer is an artist and no two are alike. If you enjoy your pictures the way that they are composed, then that is all that matters. If your friends and forum members enjoy them too, well that's just icing on the cake.

As you get more familiar with the Nikon, your pictures will get better as well.

Nice job!

NewYorkJon34 10-07-2011 10:10 AM

They came out ok because I was stuck with my 70-300mm lens, so taking pics was difficult & I had to get creative. I have a nikon 5100 & just received the 16-85mm lens, which is what I'll use next time. This is my first DSLR, & only had the camera for a week when I took these pics, and have never taken photography classes.

1cleans13 10-07-2011 10:43 AM

beautiful cars and pics... I thought that was Boca Raton for a minute...but realize you are from naples.

raynman9 10-14-2011 10:59 PM

sick *** pics

HenryLee 10-23-2011 06:26 PM

Those TE's look insane!

alcheng 10-24-2011 06:35 PM

Nice Pics!! Keep it up, I have a Nikon for myself too!!

The 16-85 and 70-300 will cover almost all the range you need. Next lens you might want to get is a Marco or Ultra Wide Angle.

Cmike2780 10-24-2011 07:05 PM

I love my 16-85. It rarely leaves my camera. I only wish it were a tad faster.

It has a silent motor, have you try set the focus mode to continueous?

No, I meant the aperture. f/3.5-5.6 isn't all that fast, especially zoomed in at 85mm, which is limited to f/5.6.

NewYorkJon34 10-24-2011 10:03 PM

Ya, but its better then the 18-55mm vr lens that my camera came with.

It's ok for nowadays photography, cos the noise control on modern DSLR is very good, even at ISO 600, the noise is still ok, so the f/5.6 shouldn't cause as much problem as the old day when using film, and you can use PhotoShop afterwards to make some minor adjustment.

Surely, f/2.8 is always attractive.

Bright outdoor shots are fine and even indoors with a speedlight flash is okay. It gets a little harder for those action shots and low light situations where a flash isn't feasable. I also usually don't like setting the ISO higher than I have to. It stays on ISO 100 95% of the time. Even with the latest camera noise reduction, it's just not as sharp using a higher ISO. f/2.8 would be awesome though. I just can't justify spending that much for pro glass.

An ISO 100 doesn't allow you to do too much if the the lens if f/3.3+.

It really depends on what kind of pictures do you shoot mostly, I was shooting a tennis tournament one time during the night session, even the aperture was set to f/2.8, I still have to push the ISO to at least 400+.

Some of the f/2.8 is not that $$$, there's a 35-70mmf/2.8 from Nikon, retail for about $500ish, it's an old model, no motor, but the picture comes out top notch.

Depends on available light and I usually shoot with a tripod... and/or with a speedlight. It still gets tricky with an f/2.8, but it certainly gives you a bit more leeway. The bokeh is nice too. I have a 50mm f/1.8 prime in the bag also, so it's not like I'm totally limited.

Skeeterbop 10-26-2011 05:13 PM

I would love to get a fast telephoto lens as well, only problem is they are big $$. The night shots I took at Petit Le Mans were taken with an ISO of 25.6k. I didn't want to go that high but it was the only way to get something decent. Anything lower and all i got was blurry shots. If anyone sees a 200 or 300mm lens for a nikon at a good price, let me know :)

NewYorkJon34 10-26-2011 05:49 PM

25.6k is pretty high, I usually just keep mine at 3200iso, ive been using my 16-85mm non-stop lately, I only use my 70-300mm for close up things, landscapes or things my 16-85mm cant reach.

Im getting better at learning the settings, I use the "P" professional setting now instead of auto, lowered the flash alittle bit as well. Angles & lighting are everything, still need to learn more tho.

Skeeterbop 10-26-2011 06:48 PM

It depends on what I want. When i was shooting the cars at petit le mans, I used the shutter priority mode. I wanted to make sure the speed was were I needed it to be to get a useable shot. Once it got dark due to the aperture I was forced to use at 300mm the only way to get a decent shot was by cranking up the ISO. When I have the time, I prefer to use full manual. I find it more fun to experiment with the settings than letting the camera try to figure it out.

SmallermouseZ 10-27-2011 09:45 PM

What kind of lip is that and where can you buy it? PM me please!

NewYorkJon34 10-27-2011 10:24 PM
