Spectacular Deanb. Now you need a proper camera so we can see your car in all it's glory, not through graininess!
Your car looks absolutely awesome though! 8)

Car looks pretty awesome! According to your post on JDMST you have a big fancy camera you're struggling with?

If I had to guess I'd say you were using MF (manual focus), i did the same when I got my first DSLR but it really isn't necessary in most cases, just use AF and let the camera do most of the work until you understand it a little better.

I worked it all out for myself and I have taken some shots I'm pretty happy with. HTH.

GreenMachine - Yes, that's the old mans SP250.

Jace - yeah, it was my first time using a proper camera, it was a Nikon D3000 or something. When i had it on auto focus the flash kept popping up and wrecking the photo so i put it on some other setting. I'm learning! slowly.. :)

Folks,

What' the verdict on the painted stock rim look? I'm thinking of it for my red nc.
