Default xB shoot at Santiago Canyons

So we were driving up the Santiago Canyon's again and I found this cool nook for pics, the weather was perfect so I stopped by to take some pics. Hope you guys enjoy!

I'm thinking of pin stripping the pink edges w/ a teal color or red. I know totally opposites. It all depends on what bbk we go with.

This car definitely isn't lacking in the "style" department - very unique. How you came up with those lines on the car is so original that I have to give you props. Anyways, the pics came out okay, although I think you can probably do better. What type of camera were you using?

any tips on shooting would be greatly appreciated. I'm really into practicing shooting on my DSLR. I have a Canon xTi w/ a 28-135mm Canon IS Lens. I also have the stock lens but am looking to buy a wide angle in the near future. But if you can give some pointers on shooting' i'd be grateful!

I'll probably try and do shots of the engine bay, suspension, and audio / interior work in the next few days.

My wifey is into photography and has the same xTi and a 20d that she messes around with. I just know your camera is capable of shooting much better pictures than that. Sorry I can't offer you any specific tips, but you should invest in a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens for shooting portraits if you don't have one already. I know it's a little off topic, but that is the best bang for the buck lens she's ever used so far even though it's fairly cheap. When I use it, it even makes me look like a pro photographer... Anyways, good luck to you man.

Looks AWESOME! my only advice is paint the silver plastic on the inside that hot pink to match some of the outside, also throw in some white and carbon interior pieces to keep it looking like the outside... It would def look HAWT!

we're going to keep all the interior pieces just the way they are, if anything I was thinking of re-making all the silver interior pieces into silver carbon fiber. But for the most part the color scheme stays that way....

Fujita gave us a CAI to park in their booth at SPOCOM. We're just about ready for the engine mods but need more research on tranny solutions.
