New to the site, check out my photos!
Hey guys, my name is Drew Brashler. I'm a 20 year old college student over in the USA located in Flagstaff, Arizona. I am going to school for a degree in Photojournalism. I'm a rock climber and as of a month ago I now co-drive for rally! 
My car is a 05' Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS. She is sponsored by Rally Innovations which is a rally company out of California that made my light bar and fog light pods. I race my car in rally cross every summer and have fun sliding around in the snow.
Anyway here are some photos:
This is my car in the Grand Canyon from the reconnaissance part of the Laughlin International Rally:
Here she is with my new wheels and tires.
Rallyin in some rally crosses:
JDM RA Rally Roof Vent:
The best decal: "You just got beat...By a wagon :-P"
And here is the rally car that I co-drive for:
Anyway that’s it for now. I hope you guys enjoyed it.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. You sure have a great sence of humor compared to the people here in the states. 
The cars on this site are so much more thought out on modifications than here in the USA. If you want, check out one of our forums RS25.com - The Subaru Impreza RS Owners Club - Home or Welcome to NASIOC.com - North American Subaru Impreza Owners Club - News.
I love shooting shots like this. I got out all of my studio flashes and lighting equipment that I have for those shots. It was shot in an empty parking garage so I had a lot of space to work with.
On the third shot I was using a Nikon D200 with a Nikon AF-D 50mm f1.4 lens. I was shooting the car wide open at f1.4. For the shorter depth of field (the area in focus being very shallow, like in the 3rd photo) you will want to use a wider aperture like f2.8 if you have it in a lens.
For a deeper depth of field you will want to shoot at say f16 or f22. And remember on all lenses, the sharpest way to shoot a lens is in the middle of the lenses aperture range which is around f5.6 or f8.
I wish it was that easy! I would say try and hook up with some photography classes at a local community college or something like that. You can learn a lot about photography through one of those with some good teaching.
I'm using a digital SLR which is a digital camera that you can change the lenses just like the old film cameras. A great digital SLR that you could get for not too much $$$ is a Nikon D70. You can pick them up fairly cheap off of ebay.com. Probably around $300-400 for the camera body. Then $100-200 for a good lens. It has a bunch of automatic modes which take the guessing game out of making the photograph.
But I would pick up a photography book or go to a photography class. Trust me, you will learn a lot.
