Default Midnight SLR Photoshoot *pics inside*

Decided to go take some night shots.

Still figuring out how to work this camera in low light. Should of set the ISO lower but found some great places for a shoot.

It would be cool to fill up one of the ramps with LSx cars at night.

did u use a tri pod? that helped me a lot. especially on low iso long exposure shots. also a couple of those pics were shot on the shadow side of the car, which looks kinda funky. you need to play with light angles.

otherwise pretty good shots. i like the first and last the best.

No tripod. I have one somewhere. I agree the first and last turned out the best.

Looks like potential, I like it. What ramp are you referring to?

One of the parking garages has a deep ramp at the top. The third photo down would make a good place for a line up.

Houston has some great spots too. These shots above are on the roof of two different parking garages.

I don't think that's the name of it. I used the Nork park mall parking garage and the parking garage across the highway from it. The best shots are from the parking garage on the other side of 75.

The new parking garage is great for night shots. We should have a meet around there.

Car looks great.

Definitely make sure you're in the light for pics. Great spot, I need to hit that place up when I'm in Dallas!

try to get lower to the ground. standing up and taking pictures is cool, but it's kind of boring.

get a tripod, set it to 200 ISO, get a lil lower to the ground and use a 3-4 second exposure. pictures will look much better.

for even better pics, have someone drive your car and take some rolling shots. if you're doing @ 60mph put it in Shutter priority and shoot at @ 1/40th of a second. baby jesus loves rolling shots !!!!!
