Wow those came out nice! Keep practicing and you’ll get tons better. A great tip that AMD IS THE BEST told me to do is to read the entire owners manual. I learned a lot just by reading that. ---

Looks like you’ve got a great start. I learned a lot too by putting the camera in full manual mode and just experimenting with what each adjustment will do to the outcome of the shot. ---

Ilya, those came out nice. I need to find a nice place to get pics of my car after it’s got the new stance. Maybe we can come out and get some shots of the cars together or something? ---

Nope. I took a pic once every 30 seconds or so and it was fine the entire time. I’m going to call them when I get around to it. The girls were firing away like a pic every 5 seconds. ---

Some more pics after a wash. I’m still amazed at how crisp these pictures come out and how much color this camera gets. It’s unbelievable.

Pics look good, try taking a picture of your car with a different background. The car’s color matches the background colors to much so the car doesn’t standout at all. ---
