actually my favorite thing to do to people i can tell buy a huge expensive camera (because they can afford to) and don't how to use it is sound interested and ask to see it and ask what specific buttons do or what ISO they are shooting at and why... some responses are priceless. about 80% of time they have no idea what they are doing at all.

Awhile back ago, someone suggested to post up the settings along with the pics so everyone can see. The following shots are the before PSing and after PSing. Thanks to Ro_Ja for the PS tips and to Tina for letting me shoot her car. These were taken earlier this year. All opinions are welcomed and encouraged.

lol that's exactly what im talking about.
another trick for the not-so-good photographer that buys oober expensive equipment... make whatever the picture is black and white.
you can literally take a picture of anything and even suck at it but make that picture black and white, with a black frame background, and a watermark... all of a sudden it's so "artistic".

I'm trying to put more work into my shots tell me what you think.
How did you brighten up those photos of tina's car? That could be very helpful for me in the future.

Nikon D80 body in MINT condition with everything in the box, $350ish? I see one right now for $500 on eBay and by using the Microsoft Live Search Cashback program i can get 30% off if i "buy it now" and pay with my paypal account? What do yall think, i like the fact it has more AF points, 10MP (yes i know it doesnt mean nothing but its a plus) and its AF so i can use my 50mm 1.8 with it. What do yall think, i can use the kit lense (18-55) that i have with my D40?
