Hey, Nemesis or GA_Teg, if you were to have shot the 4th pic, with the front of the car and the buildings in the background, how would you have set up for it correctly to get the wheel/caliper in focus, and exposed bright enough to see well, but then get it aligned in the frame the same way i did?

Should i have centered the frame on the wheel first, then pressed half way down to get it to focus and grab the correct ammount of light, then realigned the camera and taken the shot?
