Default More Nikon D50 Shots

I washed my car and took some pics last night/afternoon, here are the results.







Trans-Am WS6, 325hp, no Ferrari's around here, we just have Firebirds...

Some real nice shots you got there.. One thing I would suggest is playing with the white balance settings to compensate for the different street lights.

I love my D50 and the stock lens has been great so far Really glad I didnt go for the Digital Rebel

Thanks for the tip. I am really pleased with my D50 as well, I'm glad I went with the D50 over the Canon too.

You can also use "Color Balance" in Photoshop under adjustments I think (where brightness and contrast can be adjusted) to correct the photo for different lighting situations)

But for digital it's best to adjust the setting on the camera first rather than having to fix it up later.

after looking at your photos again i'd have to say this one is my favorite,


you really get a sense for the shape of the car.. the shot also stands out from the rest of the pictures and shows you took a good look before taking that picture

How many D50 members do you think we have here on JW now? ae86_16v just got one...

Thanks, I like that shot as well.

Hmm, maybe 3 or 4 owners, growing all the time I'm sure!
