Lol Yup its fully functional. Daily Driver, nightly drifted

 

Didn't take any pics last Wednesday, I was fighting with a broken water pump bolt so I could get my *** home. This week, however, things worked out a little better for me.





This compound setup was just nuts:

Well this weekend I attended the Boston Cars and Coffee meet I was blown away by all the amazing cars that showed up. This was my first serious time using my new camera after some testing. I think the photos came out good for me being awake at 7am on a Saturday. There are tons more pictures of the car show at www.flickr.com/sillig25

So after reading this thread I decided to pick up a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens to take some low light/night pictures as both my telephoto lenses seem to require quite a bit more light. Well I got it in the other day and decided to snap a couple of test pics, and one of my car. Played with it a bit in lightroom and this is what I got. This is my first time really messing with a photo in lightroom, In the past I've only really done minor things with it.



Camera: Nikon D100
Lens: Nikkor 50mm f/1.8
ISO 200
F/6.7
1/180 sec shutter

 

Never heard of a Nikon D100 and good choice on lens I have the same one.

Nice picture and just keep using lightroom it gets easier the more you use it I am finding out. Look up some youtube videos

 

D100 is the grandfather to the D300s, an entry level 'professional' camera (6.1mp so yeah old hah). She's old but works to learn on heh. Probably going upgrade around Christmas time to a t3i and give this one to my Daughter to work with.

 

Wow it still produces stunning pictures and Stick with Nikon dont go to the black and red side ! lol

Damn SilliG I get more and more jealous everytime I see you're photos. I need to get lightroom soon and how long were your exposures for the daytime shots in your last post?

 

Exposure 0.01 sec (1/100) Aperture f/5.6 Focal Length 50 mm ISO Speed 100 Exposure Bias 0 EVThanks, I am glad you like the photos. I really like lightroom its very easy to use and the learning curve was very small. I still can't use photoshop.

 

Nobody went out and shot the Eclipse on Sunday night?

I'll post mine then.

 

I went out and tried to shoot the eclipse... I'd rather not embarrass myself by posting the photos I took

^^ Nice shots though! What were your camera settings? Lens?

 

Very good job of fully capturing the eclipse. I didn't even know there was one that came up recently
