Great pics! The pics in the tunnel look menacing. The wheels are hot as well. Is your car a 2010/2011?

Thanks guys!

Adam it's a MY10, to replace my cursed MY07 (hope nobody here owns that one)
Wheels are great, especially because I don't have to constantly clean them, the finish hides brake dust so well!

Thanks - I'm a total amateur photographer, but inspired by some of my mates who constantly take great pictures.
Camera is a Nikon D90 (now replaced with the D7000)

If you already have lens from your previous Nikon, D7000 might make sense.

The tunnel shots was a spur of the moment thing, therefore I hand held the shots and cranked up the ISO, was shocked how well then came out in the low light conditions.


Here's a few more shots from the tunnel, & my buddies GTR

I am not usually drawn that color, but love the Aston Lightening Silver. Its so vibrant! Nice job capturing the color and lines of the car.

amazing the tunnel ones came out so well despite the hand held shooting.

do you see much noise at the high ISO setting and what f-stop were they shot with? it's hard to tell from the resolution posted here.

I will probably stick with Nikon, I think it's actually my lens that broke. I might be able to keep the bode and just buy a new lense.

My best results came from: f4 / 3200 ISO

The newer camera's seem to have an amazing ability to crank up the ISO's without a huge amount of distortion.

Here are some links that where in my bookmarks:
http://mansurovs.com/nikon-d300-vs-d...ise-comparison

http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/re...ssage=30067263


To give you an example of the D90's ISO cranked up to 6400.
