tCguy85's night photoshoot /night of hotchkis spring install
hey guys, i installed the TRD rear sway bar and more importantly the Hotchkis springs today. i went out tonight to a local car wash(first parking lot i saw that had bright lights on) and took some photo's for you guys.
keep in mind these were taken maybe 2.5 hours tops after the springs were installed so they need time to settle just a hair. but she doesn't look like a 4X4 anymore.... thank god!
well here they are.... enjoy and comments would be appreciated!
^this pic really shows what the flint mica is all about!
sorry if you guys think there is to many but i love my car and i had to take a whole bunch of pics. but thanks for looking

In your 7th pic, is there a man with a leather mask and a chainsaw peeking around that old shack in the background? 
j/k!
Looks sharp. Not only a tripod will help you take better pics but so will the settings. Experiment with your settings and you'll find out which one will work for you.

Depending on how advanced your camera is..... the settings you'll want to experiment with will mainly revolve around your f/stop and your shutter speed.
Heres a cool little 'calculator' thatll give you some idea on what to do: http://www.robert-barrett.com/photo/...alculator.html
edit: digging your parking lights btw, what size LEDs do you need for that? (if you know off the top of your head, if not I'll dig around for it)

i was gonna wait till spring but i just couldn't. it's not like when winter rolls around next year i'm gonna change the springs back to stock so it doesn't matter anyway. i just hope the front drops like another half inch in the next few days or weeks.
