Seeing Red: *Christmas Day*

[jimmycricket]

With Santa Claus bringing Bigs a new front grill and myself finally following in my dad's footsteps with an SLR of my own, we decided to make the most of an overcast day and shoot some pictures.



The following are 20 shots I could come up with using the freshly unpackaged D60.

Lenses used were a standard 18-55mm w/ Quantaray MC Skylight 1A filter and a 55-200mm w/ Digital Quantaray Pro-series UV filter.



Hope you like them :ninja:

(p.s.- I am not avidly reliant on photo enhancements and ps to edit my pictures, so all of these pictures are straight from the stick, resized, and uploaded to here.) *exceptions: #'s 10,11,12,14 and 19 all have minor gamma correction and contrast adjustment*

At this point we ran into some company.

What I couldn't believe is that she didn't realize we were trespassing, she just said don't play on the machinary or go down to the quarry hole and do drugs lol.

I found this old random stool on the other side of the puddle.

So I decided to test out the depth of field just to get a feel for the camera.

And one last reflection shot of the entire site in the background.

And here's the last one. Thought it was kind of interesting.

The Kouki has 300zx wheels and now that he has a lip and front grill I think it looks gorgeous even with the wheels.

[Random Hero]

Nice shots man, I like them a lot!

[EJ_Allmota]

very nice shots, sweet location.. clean car, im just not feeling the riveted side skirts on the 240..

[jimmycricket]

^ I was not the one who put them on lol. I always get mixed opinions about them. If it were up to me I'd have kouki sideskirts like Big's S14 but the cost to fill in the rivet holes and sand and repaint over is more than I care for.

[Oz10]

Nice pictures! I really like the reflection shots. I recently got a d60 too, but I haven't posted any car pictures yet. Nice job!

[Boost1995]

Beautiful shots!

[DukeDC5]

Nice pics, man. Like the red 240s

[Nerdsrock22]

wow...great shots man. I'm impressed with the D60, I'd love to have one as a second body.
