Hooked up with Mud this evening and went to the lcoal 24 hour tesco car park and shot a load of pics. First time I made an effort to do a night shoot and bottom line is I suck. I was relying on the auto settings of the Nikon D50. Will spend some time over my hols to read some magazines and an e-book (thanks Adood) on how to take better night pics. Here are some of the better ones. Mud took loads on his digi and they came out much better. I really need to learn how to make the most of the camera. Also, these pics are un-edited, will be using photoshop to enhance these, again, over the hols.

I'll post up some not so great pics in the photography section. The halos on the cars give a ghosting effect, need to figure out how to get rid of it

Nice pics Fas, the temptation to visit the local underground car park is huge but will need to spend the best part of £400 on a Canon 400D!

nice shots Fas.
One thing ive found with night shooting is using reflected light from the car to highlight curves works kinda well, also take a few in black & white....they look awesome when (& if in my case) they come out right. :)
Those pics look wicked Fas,
Shame i cudnt come, somethign came up.
Really like your boot install. Am in progress of doing one in mine aswell. Am going to keep a diary of how me and my friend go about doin it so i can post it up and others can check it out.
Hope mine comes out aswell as yours.
Love the angel eyes, am thinking of getting the enhanced ones from teddy.
let me know when you guys next meet up, will def try and make it.:D

Nice pics Fas. I too have the D50 (but as you, I really need to spend more time learning how to use the bloody thing properly :o ). Some really good pics there and they haven't come out that bad bro.
@ Mud - So that's where my rims went...:p :D :cool: . Good to see the rims are finally on :cool: :cool: :cool:

@Dan and Vin, I posted up about the meet in the meets section, I also mentioned it in the most recent detailing thread which i KNOW at least one of you read ;)
Anyway, i don't go back to work until the 8th, so plenty of time to get shoots in. Security said we could have as many people there as we wanted as long as we weren't doing stupid stuff. (eh Mud :p)

Bleh was out from dawn til dusk yesterday so missed the thread, but my bad. I did say I'd be up for it in the detailing section, just didn't get to check the board yesterday, which is a shame cos I came past Slough around 10:30. Gonna try to get some new-year pics done just to document the evolution of the car, although my camera's not special so I don't need to worry about playing too much cos I get what I get. :)
I know what you mean about the halos, that can look good or bad depending on the rest of the shot. The 6th pic you posted looks really good though Fas, it's dark but you can pick out the detail, looks kinda sexy like that.
Top work on getting security to buy into it, and top work on Mud trying to get them to buy out of it. :p

Wasn't difficult. "not my fucking car park, you can do what you want. Just do it later when the managers aren't leaving" :D

Looks like I have a new hobby :)
