Some of the big camera dealers get pretty good pricing and the seller has a very high number of sales. It could be totally legit. He is in UK though.

^^ cool! is that a model you built? one of the guys at work is a trekkie(?) trekky(?).
so during lunch i looked at my RC picts i took last night and noticed several areas i want to fix. first is lighting, im going to place one more incandesent light to the right of my camera to give tad more illumination around the front driver side tire, also will remove all items near the shooting area to rid reflection on the car's door and panel (like my synth-keyboard! ) and will try DOF that will give me closer to 30cm. 36mm f/7.1 from about 1m (iso100) - aim near headlamp/taillamp 42mm f/9 from about 1m (iso100) - aim near headlamp/taillamp try this again. nono, im not mad. hahaha |

I really need to start shooting in manual mode, and need to take the time to understand aperture/ISO/metering and how it effects my shots.. Auto can only take me so far. Also what program are you using to add lights like that ken? Im just using a trial version of lightroom 3. Maybe i should download CS5 already, co-worker gave me a very nice book to read for CS5!

I suggest using BOTH LR3 and CS5.
I use LR for color editing, lighting, white balance etc(not to mention going through large catalogs is much easier) and then I use CS5 for sharpening, major editing work etc. That's just me though. |

I have been using lightroom 3 for sharpening and noise filtering. Maybe i should be doing this in CS5 for better results?

i use the barebone PS Element9. i only use it mainly for minor level adjustment and slight boost in saturation/slight sharpening if needed. most of my images are straight out of my camera.
oh, and re-size. |

Probably need to download the latest plug-in from Adobe. Nikon usually gives you the software with your camera if you just need to open an NEF file. I had the same problem opening with CS3. I should really switch to CS5, but the damn thing is so expensive (legally anyways).

It is nicely exposed, is interesting, has clear focus throughout and the lighting is good. You are getting better with each post. I am not just kissing your butt, either. Thanks for sharing and for asking my opinion. Keep them coming. My sons are going to the UTI car show Sunday -- it will probably be populated heavily with ricers, but I hear there will be some decent cars there too. Among the decent cars will be Taylor's scary-fast 280zx (one of my old ones) that he built and it is going for some dyno pulls. Although I have a rule (a guideline, actually) that my kids (men) don't get to schedule my time on the weekends, I am going to go and try to get some good shots.
