looking good. Got a high res version of that last shot?

 

[NCZ13]

the lights are stock. the blue overlays make the fogs seem whiter then the low beams however.

i think this is the high res your talking about right?

my friend and i arent skilled photographers, but he has a really nice camera that as you can see can do alot with the amateur hand.

thanks for all the compliments by the way =)

If you don't already have one, pick up a tripod. Absolutely necessary when doing sunset and low light photography. They all seem a little soft except for the ones with the camera sitting on the curb. I'd also suggest turning the lights off if you're trying to feature the sunset. They're distracting.

Doh! Beat me to it! I am gonna second what itrhybrid said about the tripod. Doesn't even have to be anything fancey. Just something you can set the camera on, set the timer, and let it take. You'll be amazed at how much better the pics look!!

oh i know. as we were looking through the pictures and some of them were fuzzy we talked about getting a tripod. im sure i have one lying around my house we can use. we talked about how on some of the pictures the lights would have looked better off as well. but oh well.

heres a picture i took about 6 months ago

the lights are off obviously, but i felt that without them on you couldnt see the car, it could have been my camera however, what i was aiming for looked great.

Here's where learning shutterspeed, fstop, iso and all the other lovely settings the cameras have can make good pics. A good camera is one thing. Knowing how to use it is another. I got a Canon Rebel XT and it has the capability to take amazing shots. I on the other hand do not. I'm still toying with settings. Going on a photoexpedition soon with afew friends. Spend a weekend camping and learning how to take better pics.

eitherway, nice pics and great location for themas well!!

What kind of camera are you shooting with? There are a couple of things here that would really help. First would be a graduated ND filter. That's basically an ND filter on the top half and clear on the bottom. That will adjust the exposure on the sunset and still allow you to see the car.

Second, if you can adjust your metering, to use spot, or partial, then that will give you better exposure on the car, but might blow out the sunset. You could alway take multiple exposures, and layer them in PS though.
