Default New Camera/Truefire Camaro Pics

Today my wife bought a new camera. So we took it out for a test drive. Its a Canon EOS Rebel XT. 8.0megapix Digital SLR. We are WAY NEW at this kind of camera so this is all amature stuff. We will learn and hopefully get allot better. One of the angles that we want is for the car to be blurry and the background to be clear. Still got a lot of playin to do with the camera first. Then need to find a good place to shoot. Anyway, let me know what you guys think.

Oh and I am planning, when the LSX 90/90 goes on, it and FRC's will be painted just like the rest of the car. Then sticking to black and polished for the rest.

sweet man, that looks killer.

it looks awesome as it is, but what would REALLY set it off is if there was more truefire coming off the lower portion of the front fascia, and wrapping around to the side of the front fenders, angling slightly upwards as it wraps around, until it comes out on the sides right around (or just slightly higher than) the front turn indicators. it'd kinda give it that "re-entering Earth's atmosphere" kinda look

but like i said, that's one damn nice, clean SS as it is.

btw, what springs are you using? that is one of the best stances i've seen. and do you have any problem with scraping?

Its just an Eibach Prokit. But thanks a ton. I think that it still has a bunch of work to do. My wife says thanks too. She has put a ton of wrench time in on the car as well.

Car looks great and your picture quality looks great too. I just recommend choosing a background that's less visually stimulating. Also, dusk is the best time, in my opinion, to snap a few pics.

You could also blur out the background with a good photoshop program like this one:

Thanks, I love that pic. That is what we were trying to acheive with just manual focus and angles and stuff. We dont have photoshop. I know that program is pretty expensive.
