Default A few new pics of the little birdy :)

My b/f and I were out Monday night trying out my new flash equipment I bought and a new location we found. Nothing special I was having trouble with the Canon 430ex firing with the triggers.....not sure what the problem is but I'll try it out again this weekend

Lookin good! The only thing I'd change is put on a T/A rear bumper, other than that it looks good to me!

Thanks . I used alot of camera equipment for those shots. I used a Canon 40D and either the Sigma 70-200 2.8 or the Sigma 17-70mm along with a Sunpak 383 & Canon 430ex flash on lightstands triggered by ebay triggers. That and 20 yrs of photography Still learning the flash stuff though as it's all on manual.

Those pictures look great. I am really not a big fan of flames, but your car flows so well. Really like what you have done with it.

I know you have heard it many times before, but I'm a big fan of the work you and your B/F do!

Pretty sweet pictures.

That camera sounds nice, DSLR's are so pimp.

I kinda like the rear bumper.

Nice pics. I hope we get a sunny night so I can get mine out for some more pics this summer. I've only gotten to drive my bird 6 times. I'm running out of summer fast.

Thanks for all the compliments. Venom WS7 I am just using photoshop CS and wished I had CS3 but I also have some plug-ins that I use. I didnt do anything to the pics at all except the 3rd one where I balanced the lighter sky with the darker foreground. All the rest is straight out of the camera except resizing. You better get busy Frozen
