decided to take some pics this afternoon at home

[Clint]

hi everyone!! new wheels yesterday so time for some photos!

would have been nice to have a cleaner car, the reflection pics would have come out a lot better. i know the pics arent the best, camera not held straight, etc but i only had a few mins before it started to get dark

Just need to lower it now mate, A LOT of daylight between the ground and the underbody lol.

[PaulyJ]

Nice! I love the projector lights and the wheels!
Very nice!

[Bernard Siong]

seems like the car will be impractical if he lowered it considering the location of the pics...

very nice wheels
havent seen them before... very original!

[CJB]

I like this Veccy heaps better then your last one Clint!!!!


Looks good!


Like the wildlife shots too :p

[mixmelb]

Nice wheel and lights u got there!! Well done mate, another good looking veccy!

[btm]

love the rims!

very different - looks great

[stevedee3]

I like the headlamps - they look way better than the standard Veccy B lamps.

[Clint]

thanks guys! i agree it must be lowered! could go an inch or 2 easily. i do live on agreage but the drive way is very level, just dusty so lowering wouldnt be a problem. for the pics i took the car into the cow paddock up the front of my place in the clearing where there was some sun, near the house it was shade from the trees.

i havent seen any cars with similar rims either, thats what i love about them!

i quite like the angel eye headlights too, i really need to get some night pics showing them.

thanks crispy! i didnt like the look of my last vectra either.. white and automatic... good news it got sold today :)

[JR]

very nice - looking good.

maybe next time, u can train da cows to pose next to da car or something!! LOL *jokes*

yes....like da pics. lowering it will certainly help its already good looks ;)

so what does everyone think of my photography? does it look very amateur? you can say what u want... these pics are the first and second times i have really taken any photos other than holiday pics and stuff

[PaulyJ]

Not bad mate, not too bad at all.
I've just gotten into photography, so i'm learning new stuff aswell.
Here's a few tips:
1) use a tripod (it'll reduce the fuzziness)
2) at night, or when it gets dark, dont use a flash... trust me on that. Use a delayed time exposure and see what happens. (click and wait)

Here are 3 examples using the above tips: Mind you, there photo's were taken around 11:00pm, so it was rather dark.

You're on the right track
Good luck with it all.

[JR]

those pics looks awesome PaulJ - specially for night shots!!! phwoah!!! impressive.
i like

[Clint]

yea id like to be able to use a tripod... i plan on buying a new camera one day, here is the camera i have. its pretty limited on the things it can do. it has some things to do with exposure but not much, and also i cant use a tripod with it, but i can just lkay the camera flat down on the ground or a post or something and turn the camera lens around to whatever angle.

[PaulyJ]

ahhhh ok
you should still be able to adjust the shutter speed, even tho it says auto
for what it is, you've taken some great pics. with a new camera and tripod, they can only get better.

[PaulyJ]

p.s. thanks JR
