You definitely would not have needed a tripod, there was plenty of light and the shutter speeds were fast enough to avoid camera shake. When you take a picture, exhale right has you press the shutter button. It is the same principle as the breathing technique shooters use to gain accuracy.

Also, over cast days make it much harder to correctly expose all areas of the photo and subject so there is not as much you can do there. Try shooting in aperature priority mode and play around. Just keep shooting and try to crouch down and shoot the car from a lower viewing angle. You will get the hang of it!

I must say though....

YOUR RIDE IS LOOKING TRES HAWT!!
Yah, I definitely need to experiment more for sure! Thanks for letting me know how the images appeared on your screen. With the lost resolution it appears quite a bit fuzzy vs the originals I have. I need to make the size smaller without loosing resolution before uploading at the370z...

Thanks on the car.

Thanks, yah ok I will remember to exhale while snapping the shutter. Thanks on the tip with aperture priority. Will definitely keep trying.
