Very nice but are you trying to contact Mars with those ear muffs?

 

[Petrucci_M3]

Haha thanks man. Sure am, its protection for my ears from the Flex. I can also plug my Ipod into it so that's why I have them on in the shots.

agree with you on the flex protection. Car looks awesome. Love the last and second to last pics. Reflection is beautiful.

It's amazing the amount of correction you were able to achieve on the hood and that rear wing. I would not have believed it to be possible! Really nice!!

looks like you got a tripod, here are a few tips for pictures next time for your d60.



since you have a tripod, shoot in the lowest iso possible. I know it may take a minute to get the angle on the tripod, but the lower iso will get rid of any gain and allow you to take the smoothest picture possible...ESPECIALLY if you get into strobes (wireless flashes).



and since you're shooting on a tripod, don't be afraid to crank up the aperture (f stop) to get everything crystal clear.



Just wanna make sure you're capturing exactly the work you did. cheers!

Thank you for the tips it means a lot. Last camera I've been using was an old Sony A100. I just got my D60 for Xmas and I've still playing around with it. The iso in all the pictures are either 200 or 100 and I'm using a remote to snap the shots. The F stop is around 17 or 18 in the sunny shots were as 5 or 6 in the dark shots and as always I'm shooting in M.

nice job on the car

That's one nice E36. Great job.
