Default Few shots with a new digi SLR

Had a few little photos done on the weekend with a new camera. Still paying with shutter speed and light settings as i have never used one before the things you can change is mind boggling

SLR shots look good mate:-)

Im doing a fair bit of photography and the SLR just offers so much flexibility. What SLR did you get and what lenses are you using? Are you shooting in RAW or large jpeg? Will you be doing much editing in photoshop?

lol....depending on how much u want to get into it, id recommend a magazine called "Digital Photo." Each issue comes with a tutorial DVD showing you how to use photoshop and edit your photos..

Sounds like we have a similar sort of set up, Ive got a Canon with a couple of kit lenses and zoom lenses...once you get into it, u really do start to look at things in a different light.

that was your choice. I never liked camping with scouts


will be good to see some more night pix when you get into the camera, I'd like a SLR.
what drop have you on your suspension, looks low to the ground with the mud flaps

The pics aren't 100% in focus so i will definately be polishing my photography skills in the near future i might look into that mag.

The car is on bc racing coilovers. I set the spring rates and damper settings but left the ride height as it was out the box, i think the front has gone down about 70mm and the rear a little less. Car can still go over all speed bumps encountered and handles far better so they are good out the box for handling and looks as i didnt want to compramise on either. Cheers for all the positive coments guys.
