Oh yeah! Those are some nice pics. Now that was one of the features I'm going to fool with a little more. I've never actually read the guide on working the Big Gun (that's what I call it).

I got some pics of my dog too. I changed the settings to film in RAW format and screwed up my computer. I was wondering why I couldn't see my pics. So after searching the internet and uploading several programs I'm now able to view my pics in Photoshop.

I'm taking pics of grass blades and stuff just seeing what it can do!


Lol thats messed up about the pics, lol. Yea I was playin around with mine just shooting random bs upclose trying to see what I could do.

Still interested in the Green just shoot me some prices, tax refund is on the way, lol.

Planned on buyin a Green for the Mirage and some 1150cc injectors for E85. Finally figured that I can run the corn liquor with just a single 255 pump rewired, from the help of some good guys over on 4g61t.org.

I been workin a crapload here lately man, haven't had too much time to post up anything but some pics that I took over Christmas break. I'll have to find the links and post them so you can check em out. I got some new filters and tripods for Christmas so I took advantage of the sunshine when we had it.

Its a really cool thing to mess with man.

What lens are you using?

I bought an 50mm f1.8 lens too, it takes awesome pics. Gives the background a real bokeh look.

The standard zoom lens that comes with the camera takes good pics too, don't get me wrong, but I wanted some really blurred lookin stuff.

True. I understand that. I'm taking a couple days off the rest of this week myself for some r & r. I'll be getting a year older this weekend, so I intend to party like I'm 10 years younger!

I'll play around with the camera more then. I've got to get my pics to come out like some of the ones I've seen on the boards, yours included. I did get a shot of a gazebo near my house, that I think is pretty good. I intend to explore more options on Photoshop with it.

I don't remember the exact mm's of the zoom lens I have. It zooms in nicely though. The pic of the gazebo is actually overlooking a lake behind my house and it's not close at all. The zoom put me right there.

Lol, well happy early b-day man. I plan on getting photoshop one day, lol. When I get a new computer I guess.

Here is the link to the pics I took over Christmas if you didn't get to see em.

Yeah I'll post it tonight. I have a few more that I have to upload from the card. 8URVTEC knows his stuff. Impressive pics, Scott! I've got to really look into my camera. There's settings on it I don't even know how to change!

I'm always impressed with angles. On a lot of the shots that I do take, I love to get a qwirky angle, or an angle that makes something stand out.

8URVTEC is a cool dude, and you're right he knows his shiz. I love crazy angles too. I have a couple of pics with some different angles that I haven't posted up.

I reference my camera's manual a lot for stuff I don't know, lol, or 8URVTEC.

I hear you. Apparently, the guy's a good resource. I'm going to try out some stuff. I'm going to take some more car pics when I get the CF lip on. There's a big fire hydrant sculpture across the street from my job I think I'll experiment with.

What's up man? I heard some people mentioning it on the boards, but nothing definite. The guy that usually organized it won't have his car ready from what I saw on DSMTuners. To be honest, unless it was a bunch of us heading down, I probably won't be going.

Besides, a lot of us are talking about going to Charlotte on 2/28.

Here's some of my amatuerish photos from the snowfall the other day. Nothing like watching kids and dogs playing in the snow!
















I'm still working on the settings on the camera, so more is to come!
