Car looks good Chris, I was wondering how you liked the Del Sol seats when you had them? I'm on the look out for a set of Confetti Recaros but until I find a set, I have a friend that has some Del Sol seat like you had in your car...are they worth a shot?

 

[NFR_AP2]

i decided to hold off on the engine/bay repaint until its warm again, so i bought a nikon d5000!!!!

super gay...any hints/tips on getting good shots with an SLR? lol

 

[CHILD]

dont shoot on auto settings, shoot on each priority setting until you understand what they do so you can make better adjustments to shoot. It looks like your camera is doing a multi-point focus and causing a really soft image. Id adjust the focal area to get a sharper shot.

 

[NFR_AP2]

well when im outside i usually use aperture or shutter priority...my friend told me to mess with the white balance and iso settings too

 

[CHILD]

i think your shots are just a little bit underexposed but that's more of a preference. Bumpin' up ISO with run you into noise eventually. I try to keep ISO at a minimum when i shoot. Auto white balance doesnt look bad either, i think what you're missing in the clarity which will come from your F-stop, focal point, and sharpness

 

[NFR_AP2]

what iso do you usually use when your shooting outside?

 

[NFR_AP2]

im happy with this one...just need to practice editing

damn photobucket downgrades quality like crazy...wtf.
