Alright. Well, we all know some of you are gifted when you get a camera in your hand. I did some searched and didn't find a thread that shows what you guys use to take those dope pictures. I've seen some and wondering how the hell half of them were taken and what you were using to do it. So, here are the rules to the thread.

RULES
- You must post a picture.
- Picture must be car-related.
- You must post the camera, lens, etc. you used
- You can post the settings. ISO, shutter speed, etc.
- You must post whether or not the photo is edited, if so, what program/rough outline of what was done.

Yes, I realize this is for some of you more hardcore photo buffs. If you had a point and shoot and think the photo is a pretty damned good one, feel free to post it and just list as much as you can. If you have suggestions to add/remove some things to what's needed, let me know. I can do some editing of the original post.

Let's see what you guys got.

Shot with my old Nikon d40 and kit 18-55. Pretty sure I lit it with a single sb600 probably at like 1/8 +.03

Just used photoshop to piece it together and correct the RAW file.

Haha that car was haggard.


Here are some from this year

Holy shit. That thing looks beat to hell. Haha. I run a D60. I'm thinking of getting another lens to try to emulate something along these lines. Did you run a tripod or picture switch?

Hahaha.
Oh nice, yeah they're great bodies. I just recently switched over to the darkside and got a 7d. It's awesome and all but sometimes I find myself missing my dinky old nikon lol, it never failed me. I just wanted to start doing video stuff.

Yeah, I had to run a tripod because when we made the trip up there, my other flashes decided to not work and I had to just use one and take multiple shots. That's probably like 3 or 4 shots put together on photoshop.

I'm doing this off memory but I think you go to share button above the picture and go to bbcode grab and put img tags around it.

newest photoshop is used for editing, usually only for the warming filter and fixing exposure.

Nikon D200
look like my 70-200mm all manual prime lens (all nikon lenses fit on all nikons, regardless the age, 20 plus lens on a new camera)
no idea the stop, but i would usually shoot slower shutter speeds then my frame rate( they teach you this is a no no, but if you are steady enough and continue the pan after shutter release, it comes out good.)
