input please

 

A flash would help. Even if you just bounce it off the ceiling. Also, try and get closer to the car. There's a lot of wasted space in 1 and 3.

 

yea i need a real flash i hate the one on my camera...lol thats on my list of stuff to buy.

 

nice paint job

 

Unless it was at f/1.2 or so but even then it just looks fake. I've shot with a MKII and this doesn't look like bokeh but a weak blur tool. Even on a cropped it's not that bad.

 

saw that car on your Flickr speedy what's coils is he lowered on? Flash would help, looks good but make everything pop more and a little less distracting with the shadows etc.

 

Its on racelands.
So flash it is just can't decided whichq one fits my needs there is quite a few to choose fromc

 

You have the 600, 700, 800, or 900. I wouldn't bother with the 400 as it's too limited. As the numbers increase, so do their power (except 600 to 700), features, and price. For general use, the 600 is plenty.

 

i love my sb600. such a great flash for the money.

 

 

Actually jon is correct. And quality is cause I pulled it from my facebook.
But the shot I literally just kneeled and shot. And it is straight from camera no Photoshop. I believe it was shot at 1.8 with the canon 50mm 1.8. So no sorry no fake blur tool.

 

went zoo'in. this guy looked like he was having a rough day.

 

Oh yeah and nynctc there style 42 wheels. Stock 5 series sport package wheels.

 

NYNTC, thanks for the hints and advice!!!!

 

 

THERE SHE IS!!!! lol

 

seconded. Remove the fire spout and there is lens flare in 2

 

new to photography and looking at a T2i. adorama has the body only for $719. and can get the body and kit lens (18-55 f/) for $849. I'm thinking of going with the body only and getting the 50 f/1.8. been reading/viewing posts on here and the kit lens doesn't seem necessary. opinions?

 

I believe for starting out the kit lens is a pretty decent lens to have and use. The 50mm lens is definitely an awesome lens as well but you at limited.

Here's a picture I was messing around hanging out of my friend's car taking rolling shots lol.

 

Nice shot. Shutter speed, please?
