Anyone know a REALLY good 'point-and-shoot?' My Canon, is TINY, but takes AWFUL pictures for Automoblilia. my photo program couldn't even clean up how grainy they are

Jeremy, come take some pictures for me LOL

 

I love the way these cars look in black... Almost makes me want to do a color change on mine!

 

I'm also thinking about painting my mesh black on the front end... Thoughts?

 

I actually really like it the way it looks.. Since everything else is blacked out its nice to have a little contrast with your mesh grilles.

 

Looks great man! I really like the eyelids.
Mine is white, gots a whole different look to it. Dont think i can pull that mean look.

 

Looks great Bond.

You use the macro setting on the camera?

You must have a passenger weight limit being so close to the fenders Haa

The wheels/lowering are aesthetically pleasing and go along with the Jag's look, imho.

I couldn't say on the mesh, thats a tough call, looks good now as it sits.

 

I love my Canon Power Shot A1000IS it is a great versatile camera and it fits in the pocket. If you look on my page most all my photos were taken with this camera. I say most all photos the car photos were taken with my Nikon.

 

Thanks Fab5, I tried macro, auto etc.... it's just not a very good camera. I've never been the 'nostalgic' type, so i just don't take a lot of pictures...
I bought this little tiny Canon in case I get desperate.
I'm now thinking about taking more pictures of my cars, so any suggestions for an expensive but easy-to-use camera that takes great pictures would help a lot!

thanks all.

 

Your problem is sodium lighting and no tripod. The trick is to take outdoor photos in the daytime with your car in the shade and nothing bright behind it. Even crap point and shoot cameras will give you good pictures. I am an amateur compared to the photography requirements of posting on semi-pro-car-photographerworks.com, I mean stanceworks.com.

Minus the photos, your car looks great! Your paint is in great shape! Looking forward to other mods I am privileged to know about.

 

Thanks Jeremy. The paint looks the way it does because I not only detail it regularly myself with Zaino, but I also have it professionally detailed twice a year inside and out by an excellent shop here in town. If I had better light and a better camera it might pickup how insanely glossy my clearcoat is! Zaino seriously makes the best auto cleaning products I've ever used.

 

Thanks Gus, I'll check it out!

 

I'm a Menzerna snob, but I hear good things about Zaino, too.

BTW, you've inspired me to re-apply my boeser eyelids. Pics to come.

 

Fantastic! Make them more 'angry' than mine!

um.... 'uber-Boeser...' ?

lol

 

I will say the one thing I like about the 2002-2007 grills is the front end looks more 'cat-like.' Reminds me of the snout of the Jaguar with menacing eyes....

 

Meguiars FTW boys. One of my friends is a detailing genius and loves Menzerna products. I've always stuck to Meg's though. I love the pics though. If your looking for a best bang for the buck camera go for a canon rebel t2i. I bought one recently and I love it.

 

You slightly shifted your name as well . The growler emblem onto the fender also awesome
You can buy 12 MP Nokia N8 that's why I use but correct set up counts more than pixel stuff itself .

 

GO for the canon t2i, very good camera, its a easy dslr and will beat any point and shoot in quality. And you can get them for much cheaper now. Even a nikon 3100 will be good. But if your lookin fro a point and shoot... go canon or snoy, nikon ones seem to be hit and miss, I bought a p100 and you have to be still as a tree to get a good shot. it did do slow motion though wihich was kinda neat.

 

Car looks great, excellant color, and pictures are Not that bad, they look fine. I'm not gonna make any suggestions on Digital Camaras, it kinda jst a Hit or Miss deal to me.

 

I like the way it looks now, and i like your new angry-bird eyelids.

But I think blacking out the chrome mesh would be too much "Darth Vadering" for my taste.

 

Thank you for all the great feedback!
