Multimedia Exchange - New pics of the bird

Awhile back I purchased an entry level DSLR and today I got a chance to take some shots of the car with it. I'm a complete noob at using the DSLR but I took these with a polarizing lens and was playing around with some of the settings. Let me know what you think.

Killer pics i loved all of them ! Great job

Definately some nice pics. Clean bird too.

You gotta move the car over, you can't unload there! :p Pics look great! What camera did you get??

Nice pics and color. My only suggestion would be to seek better lighting i.e. when the sun is setting like this

Or don't shoot pics directly in the sunlight like this

The sun was very low in the sky and very bright. I was really hoping for the occasional cloud to help tone down the sun a little.

Hey I work for conway. Maybe I should take some pics next to a trailer someday. lol

Car looks good. Pictures turned out nice! 4,5, & 6 are my favs. I think with a pewter car like that you can shoot in that kind of light. My car on the other hand..... no way!

great pics! what wheels are those? :drool:

Looks amazing nice bird.

great pics! what wheels are those? :drool:

American Racing Rebels - 18x9 & 18x10. Will be for sale in the next month or 2 or whenever my new wheels arrive.

I know the trailers wouldn't be the best background but the sun was quickly setting so I had to make do with what I could find quickly. It wasn't a planned photo shoot. When I get the new set of wheels hopefully I can find a better spot.

pm sent :nod:

what style wheels are you replacing them with? the rebels look good!

I love those wheels

I'm going to try out some Genuine Boyd wheels. I'm waiting on real pictures since this a newer design and I have only seen this stock photo. But hopefully this will be the wheel I go with. Not really a high end wheel but more costly than regular cast wheel. It's a 2 piece wheel, a forged hoop with a high pressure cast center welded in. I hope it turns out good as it is very similar to the Smoothie 2 wheels which is what I really wanted when I purchased the Rebels but at the time it was taking people months to get them and I didn't want to wait.

NICE! thats a sweet looking wheel too! shoot me some info (pm) on where and the price of those wheels....also about your rebels if you decide to get rid of them...

im in the market for some wheels

:hail: nicest pewter ta I've seen. I usually dont like those rims but they look killer on your car

Best color there is! Nice looking bird and HOORAY FOR CLEAN WHEEL WELLS!

It's crazy the amount of people who ignore this small but major noticing detail. Really allows the wheels to pop.

Love it!

Funny you mention the wheel wells. With my truck it makes a heck of difference...it just doesn't seem clean unless you clean the arm pits.

I haven't cleaned the TA wheel wells for at least 2 years but I only put a couple of hundred miles on her a year and only seen rain twice in her life. So it's pretty easy to keep them clean.

But you can notice some dirt on the barrel of the wheels on the close up pic which I didn't notice until after posting.

ANY SUV...wheel well cleaning and dressing is a MUST. If you skimp it, it makes the rest look like garbage. Or you're just lazy.

Mine is the same way. Mine just get a spritz of APC+ and agitate with a brush and rinse away and dry clean. When the wheels are off I do add a small amount of polish to them. Seems to help a little.

I do the same or if I'm feeling lazy I just use some meguiars hyper dressing and bypass the cleaning.

Your car is purdy.:)

That works as well but just becareful because it could cause it to get 'caked/gunked' up and it's even more of a pain to take care of.

Believe me, I have many customers who just keep doing this wash after wash after wash.

But hey, They have me take care of and that's what I do. LOL

Those Boyd's will look awesome. Similar to TTII's, but a cleaner look.
