LOL Van, that's some funny stuff.

Newbies....sheesh.

On a side note, I am now Van's agent for any photography shoots your Maxima club would like to arrange. You can PM me for rates and times available.

 

Man, slick looking pics again. Excellent photography skills! Makes me want to get my ride out for another late night photo shoot. Wish my alma mater's campus looked like that.

 

Icredible pictures!! very professional, I wish my camera could take low light pictures like that!

 

Nice new sig yourself there housecor!

 

Now, THAT would be awesome. I would have to take a photography class if that were the case.

 

Nice, clean pics....rides look HOT!! Keep up the good work. I need to take more pictures of my baby.

 

Ahhhh, nothing better than OU Football, a few friends, and some great looking 5th gens!!! Excellent looking pics! I am a season ticket holder that lives here in Dallas, I will have to get some photos taken around the stadium this fall!

 

Those Max's look awesome and the pics look great!

 

Hey everyone! Not to be mean or anything but is it just me or do most of those need a serious drop? That must be stock they are way up. Nice pics though.

 

Ya, out of the four cars there, Van's is the only one that is dropped and he is on Maxspeeds. I have H&Rs sitting in my living room that are yet to be put on. As soon as I get my Illuminas in I will install them.

 

Can you tell us what settings you used on your camera?
Nicely taken pics.

 

I used full manual with manual focus because it was too dark to auto focus. The settings varied slightly due to different lighting conditions at the different locations during the shoot. I used an aperture of f8.0 (sweet spot of the lens) at 28mm X 1.6 multiplying factor due to a non-digital SLR lens on a dSLR. The ISO was set at 100, which has the least amount of distortion and graininess. The shutter speed varied from 8 seconds (for the best-lit areas) to a full 30 seconds ( for the low-lit areas, which most of the pictures were taken in). I like long shutter speeds for these kinds of shots, because it allows for a deep depth-of-field, in order to get all the buildings in the background in the shot clearly. I set the white balance on auto white balance, because there were too many different light temperatures available during the shoot.

Here is a picture of the lens and camera used. I just recently got the lens, and I was testing it out that night. It works pretty well. Much better than the cheap-quality kit lens, but not as good as my 50mm prime.


Edit: The camera is a Canon 300D/Rebel, with a Canon 10D firmware hack (custom settings of 10D enabled) mated to a Canon EF 28-105 F/3.5-4.5 II USM lens and Canon EW-63II lens hood and Hoya UV filter (which I think causes glare).

Is your car modified? Have you ever taken it to the track? Welcome to the .org.

 

Beautiful photos, beautiful maximas, great choice for a location.

 

Nice pictures.

 

Hey your car looks awesome with the MT lip and no foglights. I like the look a lot!

Breathtaking shots. That's tight work man.

 

I'm glad you guys like them. Here are some more shots of the stadium.

North side of the stadium:


East side close-up of the top:

 

Here is the state-of-the-art building that offers simulated rain and wind conditions for football training. On a side note, the clouds were moving fast that night.

 

Damn Van, 440 in the freaking morning? What were you doin up that late?

 

daam all those maximas look so clean

 

no desrespect to the maximas....but the pics of just the stadium are SWEET!!!

gives me goosebumps

SOONER FOOTBALL BABY!!!

 

I was taking pictures!

 

Nice pics van and the maximas look great.

 

Woah, this thread is back from the dead. Thanks, though. Who are you? Have I seen you around? BTW, I just lowered the front of my car on some spare Sprint springs that I bought for my cousin's Maxima that he isn't using yet. It took 37 minutes to do both sides (I always time myself). The drop looks much better, except the ride is slightly harsher, but not anything remotely close to being unbearable. I will post some pictures up after finals.

 

you just never stop doing **** do you van. can't wait to see the pics, and where did you get the spring compressor?

 

I didn't use a spring compressor because I was just removing an aftermarket spring to replace with an aftermarket spring. Aftermarket springs are not compressed like stock springs are. The stock spring will launch the top hat across the room (or garage) if a spring compressor isn't used. With the Maxspeeds, the top hat moved about 2 inches and fell to the ground. I just put my weight onto the top hat to put the nut back on. No spring compressor needed.
