First real shoot with the G8...

Not bad for a little point and shoot camera, did some tweaking on the settings and got some respectable results.

Now to get warm enough weather for detailing the G8.

Stalker-ish? (First few shots I got, obviously)

Seems I will never get shots of it during the day since it gets dark so early, one way to have an obligation to learn how to shoot at night ;)

The secret to good night shots is to make use of available light and to make sure it highlights the subject. As you can see there's too much light in the background and not enough light on the car, which is why it looks so dark.

Thank you, I love the blue. Little loud in the sense of the law, but I still love it :lol:

The only night shots ever done with the G8 for me were done by a friend of mine with a professional camera. I am not very good taking pictures to begin with... :lol:

Car looks great though, Sucks winter is almost here.. Not much time left before the snow flies.

Thanks, yeah, I'm a bit bummed about winter. The weather makes it tough to try and get any form of protection on the car =/

The shots came out significantly lighter on my screen, didn't realize how dark they were on others *sigh*.

I'm no photographer first off, but I would like to say even if the first picture is dark it still looks good. It gives the car the evil unpredictable look, like a monster lurking in the shadows. Which IMO is a trait and good Euro car has. It's Australian, but close enough in my book :occasion5:

Agreed :)

Trying to find me some Aussie tags for the car shows. Found plenty of sites that sell plates "like" Aussie tags, but none that say "Australia" + tag numbers and such. Should be a pretty neat concepts at the shows.
