Take two shots. One with the hood up and then one with the hood down. After that you need to combine the two in photoshop.

Thanks Andy! At least I am consistent!

My future brother in law has one very similar to that one... if not that exact model. He has taken some killer shots with it. From doing a quick search on dpreview I would say that it is a pretty capable camera. Not only does it take high quality pictures you can shoot manually and it has a pretty good continuous shooting feature.

She could grab a hold of MY stick.:bangbang: You know how I know I'm a nerd, I enjoyed the behind the scenes pictures ALMOST as much as I enjoyed the real pictures. I need halp.

Do you know whast Megapixel? Is it a point and shoot or an SLR? Very true, I would invest in a tripod and read through the manual on how to adjust your shutter speed for long exposures. I'm sure I've said it before, but the best way to get an understanding of photography is to think of a bucket of water. Instead of water you use light and the bucket is the picture. If you have a dark picture you don't have enough water, so you need to let light in longer, if it is too bright it is the exact opposite.

If you have any questions I am more than happy to answer them for you. If I don't know the answer I can at least send you in the right direction. 90% of it is knowing how to work your camera the other 10% is the quality of the equipment. To this day, some of my favorite pictures were taken with my bottom of the barrel, plain old Digital Rebel.

I went out the other night just to screw around and try some new things. Overall I'm pretty happy with a few of them... not so much on some others but hey, that's what experimenting is all about. Let me know what you guys think. 1 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9501copy.jpg 2 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9450copy.jpg 3 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9460copy.jpg 4 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9476copy.jpg 5 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9403copy.jpg 6 I really liked this spot so I did a typical shot here. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9435copy.jpg Some shots from yesterday 7 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9547copy.jpg 8 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9508copy.jpg 9 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9526copy.jpg

Damn, I would absolutely love to do it but I'll be on my honeymoon then! GRRRRRR!

When I was up in Columbus I did most my shopping at the Cord Camera on 5th until I stumbled into Midwest Photo Exchange and was blown away. For the last year or so I would go there over any other store... even BHphoto. I'm happy to hear you went with bh, they are the only online store I trust. I bought my 70-200, 16-35, and 430ex from there. Great company to work with. Throw up some pictures when it arrives.

Nicely done, that second one is right on the money! Sweet car as well.

I'm the shit at not finding a real job. I'm equally as good at working at shitty jobs. In all seriousness, I have a knack for photography.

Okay everyone, this has been my beater for the past year and it has performed absolutely beautifully. But I am getting rid of it since I will be getting married this summer and since I no longer have a "project car" I don't need a form of backup transportation. I bought the car built by my buddy who is an ASE certified mechanic at Toyota. I have never had a single issue with the car. Here is a list of what all has been done to the car. 1995 Subaru Impreza L Engine: 2.5 liter (ej251) from 01 2.5rs 72k @ time of transplant (175k on current odo) Using 2.5liter intake manifold+injectors. 1.8 liter engine harness modified to use 2.5liter ignition coil and wires. 1.8 liter engine throttle body Entire exhaust from 2001 2.5rs Drivetrain: 1997 Legacy 2.5GT trans and shift linkage (4.11 final drive ratio) Exedy stage 1 clutch, rs flywheel Main driveshaft from 2000 2.5rs Front axles from 95 japanese wrx Rear subframe, suspension links, brakes, rear diff (viscous lsd), gas tank from 2000 2.5rs Front brakes from 1997 Impreza awd Suspension: Stock 2.5rs struts and springs Interior: 2001 2.5rs seats These are the pictures I have right now, I plan on getting more this coming week. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Blizzard%2008/CRW_3881copy.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Blizzard%2008/CRW_3906copy.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Misc%20Stuff/stuff%204%20sale/Subaru/IMG_5648copy.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Misc%20Stuff/stuff%204%20sale/Subaru/IMG_5645copy.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Misc%20Stuff/stuff%204%20sale/Subaru/IMG_5639copy.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Misc%20Stuff/stuff%204%20sale/Subaru/IMG_5631copy.jpg Now for the bad. The body leaves much to be desired. The paint is flaking and there is rust (I will get better pictures of ASAP). The windshield needs to be replaced (I plan on replacing it in the next few weeks). And it could use some new brakes (I am also thinking about replacing these soon as well). If I don't get around to doing these things I will definitely lower the price for you. With all that being said I am asking $3000.00 but am willing to work out a better price. Also, I am not interested in any trades.

Awesome, thanks for the reminder. I heard about this a week ago but completely forgot!

Haha, I figured the car would get some mixed reviews. It does look pretty mean though driving down the highway. I'm not sure if he was planning on getting some paint on there or not. Last I heard he was, but then he mentioned that he might just get rid of it and concentrate on his (my brother's old) ls1-rx7. We'll see though, I'm glad you all like the pictures!

Haha, thanks guys. I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures at least. haha

We shot down here in Cincinnati, more specifically the Camp Washington region. There are a bunch of old abandoned buildings down there.

Owner asked me to take down the pictures. If I am lucky it might make it in a magazine. Until I hear otherwise... I am sorry but they have to come down.

Kroger has a sale going on for buy one get one free roses, so being the romantic gentleman that I am I asked Alexi if she wanted any. Not only was that brownie points for myself, but it also gave me something to do while she watched her reality t.v. shows. I set up a make shift studio in the Kitchen and began playing around with some lighting techniques. I figured I'd share the outcome with all of you. 1 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Misc%20Stuff/Flowers%20and%20Fun/IMG_9116copy.jpg 2 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Misc%20Stuff/Flowers%20and%20Fun/IMG_9072copy.jpg 3 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Misc%20Stuff/Flowers%20and%20Fun/IMG_9131copy.jpg 4 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Misc%20Stuff/Flowers%20and%20Fun/IMG_9124copy.jpg 5 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Misc%20Stuff/Flowers%20and%20Fun/IMG_9077copy.jpg 6 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Misc%20Stuff/Flowers%20and%20Fun/IMG_9098copy.jpg

Congratulations! I am going to tie the knot this summer. Did you elope or did you just get back from your honeymoon? Where'd ya go?

Sure buddy, I could even come up to Cbus if you wanted. I need to make a trip up there and see some people at some point. I completely agree... unfortunately my brother is obsessed with ruining nice cars by spray painting wheels. (Although I have been guilty of painting my own wheels in the past). Yes I do. It's a little bit of both actually. I think I was the first to clean it this entire winter.

Well, my brother lives in Maryland but at the moment he is borrowing my mom's Sierra so he left his car here. He asked me to drive it around for him while he was gone. So I took advantage of the opportunity and brought my camera bag with me. Here are a couple that I liked from the little shoot. 1 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Bros%20Cars/IMG_8648copy.jpg 2 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Bros%20Cars/IMG_8691copy.jpg 3 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Bros%20Cars/IMG_8682copy.jpg 4 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Bros%20Cars/IMG_8632copy.jpg It feels good to be shooting an Infiniti again... it's a shame it can't be my old G20 though.

I've got the bikes down... it'd be the hot chick that I have to work with. Although I feel like they'd be a little easier to work with since they wouldn't always want to come up to me and rub their belly. I could be wrong though. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Photo%20Cruise%2008/IMG_9654copy.jpg Haha, this is true. Brilliant.

Thank you! I will let Sherman know. It was actually a lot tougher than it usually is. Normally he loves the attention, but today he was quite distracted. I'm gonna try another shot if it gets warmer before the end of the month. I'm not exactly a fan of the wheels either, but to each their own. Thank you! Thanks! Haha, unfortunately I don't think too many girls would want to pose with a stock Mini Cooper. Thanks! Hopefully it wins. Do it, they are amazing dogs.

Well, I went out today to take some pictures of Sherman and the car since the Mini forums photo contest this month is "pets". While I was there I took the opportunity to grab some other shots since I've been eyeballing this place for the past few years. It is actually right down the street from me. I have a thing for barns apparently. 1 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_8504copy.jpg 2 Here's the same one without Sherman. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_8516copy.jpg 3 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_8518copy.jpg 4 I couldn't decide which one to share between the colored one or the BW one... I like them both. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_8534copy.jpg 5 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_8531copy.jpg 6 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_8563copy.jpg And a random one of my Brother's car that I snapped without any of my equipment. The wind was a little bit much and I didn't feel like breaking another flash. Plus, the spot wasn't exactly the best. 7 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/Bros%20Cars/IMG_8475copy.jpg
