Bought my first DSLR on Wednesday. Washed her today...washed, polished and waxed last Sunday. Here are my first tries at taking night shots of my car on my camera.

EDIT: Oh btw I got a Canon Rebel T3i with a 18-55mm kit lense

 

looking good

 

looks good bro

 

looking sharp

 

DDaaaaaauuuuuuummmmmmm!

 

camera takes gorgeous pics...modding bug will hit soon, I promise...

 

I love this camera! And the Max looks nice too! Modding bug ciming soon Im sure lol.

 

looks great. now start doing stuff to the car! very nice camera by the way, i need to stop taking pictures of my car with my smartphone.

 

maybe you can take pic of my car....lol

 

awesome photos, but when did they remove the nissan stamped steel for the infiniti style tail pipes

 

Damn!! 7ths are SEXXXY in black!!!

 

I guess I'll be the first hater and say the T3i isnt worth the $$$ over the T2i... i feel like the swivel screen would break after a year or so. sexy 7th none the less though. (yes i'm a T2i owner lol)

Edit: For night shots: Tripod+longer exposures+Lower ISO (less grainy pix) = more sexiness.

 

U can say that again!! Even better when they're clean.

 

Stand back further. For an object the size of a car, perspective distortion will be unflattering until you're forty feet away or more, particularly for profile shots.

 

that camera is the shiznit! how much did it set you back?

 

Congratulations on the SLR; now get ready to be spending some money on accessories. Once I got my Nikon it developed into a serious obsession on taking better photos. Enjoy!

I took these around 9PM at night but as you can see with a tripod and a bit of manipulation you can make it look pretty interesting.







Same photo with different manipulation.

 

Wait til you go to get your first piece of nice glass.....

 

You mean a nice piece of glass that is more expensive than what you're screwing it on?

dSLR is a fun hobby where you start of thinking that, oh, I finally bought myself a nice dSLR, I can take nice(r) photos now. Then you realize that the 18-55mm kit it came with is nothing compared to an 18-105mm that costs twice as much as the body...

 

damn... i been searching for a t3i on cl for about a month now @ a decent price... looks like im just gonna have to suck it up and buy retail.
