    So there are quite a few of us that enjoy photography, whether it be cars or not. Let's all post up and see if we can learn something from each other.

    I'll post one for now, it's of my doggie's paws of when she was sleeping the other night. Very minor tweaking.

    When I get some time I was thinking of doing a little write up of how to properly take before/ after pictures of paint correction. Would anyone be interested in this?

    YES!! Although the camera i use isn't like those professional cameras... canon powershot a80. It's so hard for me to take shots of imperefections...

    P1et gorgeous picture buddy, I too need to learn about how to take a better picture.

    D&D I'm very interested on a write up like that :thumb:

    The pictures I take I just point and shoot and sometimes I get lucky sometimes I don't :confused: it would be nice to be able to know what to do and how to adjust/compensate certain scenarios.

    The price of DSLR cameras has come down so much now and are so user-friendly that there is no excuse for anyone not to own one.

    Personally, I have the Rebel XT and then a Canon SD1000 to just carry around with me in pocket.

    they are all edited a little...

    I really like taking pictures, I would love to take a class when I get a camera. You can just tell by looking at the pics both of you guys posted, alot of technique goes into taking a really good picture.

    Those are some fantastic shots Dontsleep! The Nikon is an amazing camera, and it shows! I don't have loyalty to either Canon or Nikon as they are obviously both great machines.

    I have never taken a class but would love to. I want to get to Scott's level!!!

    I have one more day off this year and I think I might take it off to a) detail the truck and when done with that b) rummage around Austin and take picture of the whole city. Been wanting to do that for a while now!

    Those pictures are great ,so you used your Canon rebel xt to take them?
    If you want to sell your Canon how much would it be? do you have a lens for it and/or any other accessories? Henry's in Toronto is selling them for $850 with 2 so so lenses.
