Picked up a Nikon D60 kit on Black Friday. LOVE IT. So I clay barred, and waxed the 8 yesterday. Today I went out and took some uber pics.

Here is the outcome:











I'm still learning how to use all the features so any tips would be appreciated!

 

The trick is to not photograph your car in the nude, then post the photos on the internet with your gonads showing.

 

lulz, i should photoshop that out.

 

Looking good man!

 

haha....I was just looking at these on your facebook. Looks good man!

 

d60? niiice!
sweet looking picks dshiz

 

luckly that was the camera i watned until the D80 came out...i am still wanting it though I like the first picture.

 

Haha, thanks guys. I tried HDR but I dont have a tripod so the pics were aligned right. Anyone want to get me a tripod for x-mas?

 

nice camera

 

Thanks Input. Oh lawdy, photochick is critiquing my pics. PRAY FOR ME!

 

faves of the bunch



one of our facebook's isn't working so i'll move the convo here.

12-1 is the worst time to shoot because the sunlight is so bright. the key with shooting outdoors is to do it in the morning or right before the sun sets. but if you want to do it between those times, then just lower your exposure levels. best weather to shoot in is cloudy because of the moody lighting and the reflections really accentuate the car - time of day doesn't really matter with that.

here's a link to one of my photo teacher's sites.

http://withmeat.com/links.html look under digital to learn how to use your camera.

 

good site. i'll have to check that out myself. i just got a canon xsi but am just getting used to a big boy camera.

 

great pictures.. gratz on the camera

 

Thanks kurado, and thanks for the site PC!

 

I just ordered that camera myself!!! Great choice man, and the car looks awesome!

 

Uh oh and you have a WB too! We should start a d60/WB club. No VR's allowed.

 

definitely no VR's!!!!!!! Maybe only PB and SBM!

 

Cant forget about the new R3 blues! Your post count is lucky 777.

 

I just entered a poker tournament to exploit my blatent good luck!

 

nice pictures, what lens are you using? like this picture the most...looks like a wide angle

 

looks good man... I was thinking of getting the same camera too, we'll see...

 

I'm using the Nikon DX AF-S NIKKOR18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G VR

 

I would suggest joining a photography forum, like photography on the net for canon user. Buy some better glass, a tripod and a remote.

You can buy a lot of good stuff from such forums.

 

That sounds like a good idea. Do you know of any good forums?

 

nice pics
