Default New camera, new SS pics

So I got out of a ball busting exam yesterday and had to vent before my Manufacturing design lab. This is the result. My apologies for the dirtyness. Wheels are especially dirty, but i didn't care, just wanted to play with camera settings. These pictures were taken with some of the camera's different mode presets. I'll dive deeper into manual settings when i get the chance.

Nice pics. On the second pic it looks like the black on the scoop doesn't shine like the rest of the hood, is that b/c it's vinyl or a flatter black?

Beautiful ride man.

I wish that I would have waited longer to find one in that color.

Clear corners would be perfect on your SS.

What stadium is in the background. New?

Looks good. Is it lowered? If it is, what setup did you go with?

yeah the headlight is messed up, I tried the Novus 3 step on it and it cleared up for a month or so. But the headlight itself is messed up on the mounting tabs... like that when I bought the car. I was waiting to buy a set of halo's but did the whistler mod to the current headlights for ***** and giggles.....i think Im just going to get another stock light and whistler it. The car really just sits in the garage for the most part during the week but my DD is acting up so I brought it into town.

I'm not sure about the Clear corners, I was thinking more like smoked. Something a little darker as the headlights have the darker appearance with the whistler mod.
I had clears on my silverado..but after the 3rd pair I just put stockers back on. Man I wish i still had it to pull this car around... they look great as a pair!


car is lowered 1" using SLP equipment etc.

The stadium is LSU Tiger stadium... also known as Death Valley It's ok if you Ohio State Fans cringe at the sight... lol

I would have better back drops but I only had 30 mins before my lab... this is the best i could do, lol.

give me 15 mins on photoshop and I could take care of that

I just bought the camera for my girlfriend for christmas so I'm not to savy with the SLR just yet. Maybe I'll get better with time.

thanks for the kind words!
