Very good exposure that could easily gone wrong. How many sensors in the D5000 for exposure?

looks like a touch-up paint option. Stop Sign Yellow!


I kid because I speak from experience. Once smacked my Imola Yellow Audi S4 while out in the country. Bare metal. Found some John Deere Yellow and used as cover until I could get it to a body shop. Perfect match. Audi Imola = J.D. Yellow

Great pic and beautiful car color!
I have the Nikon D300 and haven't even begun to use all of the features it offers!
Amazing the difference in pics when you spend some good money for a camera!

Enjoy,

Stacy

I agree. These cars deserve to be photographed with good cameras. Here is a photo of my car using my Nikon D300 purchased earlier this year. I love it (them).

Nice Dave. Just sit her up in a Malibu lot next and get the ocean in the background and you'll be shooting like a pro! Ain't you got plates on that baby?

I have a Nikon P5100 P&S that takes very good pictures, but nothing like this even though they both use the same 12.2mp sensor.

Absolutely, millions of people who choose tough and honorable way of neglecting any jobs in their lives rely on your accurate tax payments, so it is your social responsibility not to interrupt this feeding stream for those who really mean something in this society -feeding all those who does not care to work is what we exist for.

I expect less uptight, judgmental stupidity from P-car fans for some reason.
