I just received my Canon Rebel on Monday. I am just posting some night pics of my school and car to see what you guys think. Please keep the flaming to a minimum! :P I am still very much a beginner in the wonderful world of photography. It's very addicting, though. Any suggestions on how to make my pictures better will be very much appreciated.

Thanks for the compliment. It was taken 10 inches away in A-DEP (depth of field) mode, with ISO 400, auto white balance, F5.6 aperture and at normal exposure.

The pictures look great. For a "beginner" you have a really good sense of composition. Also, the car looking sweet helps too.

Was the shot of the gauges done using a tripod and longish exposure? If so, that would explain why they look so bright.

Tell us all how you got your gauge cluster to look that bright, and by the way your car looks sweet, very clean.

The big building is the library. The cool, modern looking building isn't part of my school. It is about 50 minutes away from OU. I forgot all about the student union! I will take some pictures of the union when I have more time. Thanks for all the compliments! I have many more pictures and I will post them up here later.

Hey, guys - I emailed him earlier about how he did the cluster, and well...it's simply how it looks photographed.

BUT...I think everyone can agree that ht e pics and the Max look awesome

You are correct, sir. The gauge cluster is completely stock.

Gauge

I see that your gauges are nice and bright!!!! Did you change out the bulbs and if so what did you use?

I don't think they would know at 3am! It's paved and the OU vans are always driving up there. I'll get some shots in front of it later. It's the library btw.

The vid is 20 mb. I can send it to you through email if you want. Let me know. I can't find anyone to host it. About the D2's, Mark said that it will be shipped out next week. Its been about 50+ days since I paid, so...

Nice pics, by the way!
