Thanks - i really didn't mean to underexpose it - just had the camera on "P" mode and just adjusted manual focus, but then I do remember changing something else..might have been the exposure..
that Tbird shaped area (hole) has another chrome Tbird logo inside, on a honeycomb grill - pic is too dark to show it...looks like this: (stock pic):
...actually I like that area darker, like in my pic - might paint the chrome bird dark or something...or take it off ????
yeah Pete - i remember you posted a pic one time of the Bimmer...
So I went out and took another underexposed pic in color...and adjusted the contrast afterwards a bit..no flash and at dusk..Shutter priority mode...looks weird but cool
Young shutterbug, you are experiencing the novelty of underexposure.
Pull those pictures up in photoshop/gimp etc and look at the histogram.
It's cool in this example, as your tinted windows are completely blacked out, and I feel like I'm wearing two layers of sunglasses under an oppressive 110'F sun.
Thanks for the feedback...that car BEGS to have some nice 17 or 18" 5-spoke wheels and a 1" drop !!!
Now all those pics were taken with my old 3.2 MP camera using manual (spot) focus and "program" mode...
I wonder how a pic with my point and shoot (nothing manual on that thing) 12.1 MP camera would look...it CAN be set to B/W mode, but one can't do any adjustments with it...
OK here it is with my Point and shoot: 12 MP, using b/w mode, and then later darkened using pixlgrabber: what do you guys think, when comp'd to the one with the old 3.2 Camera? (see pic on 1st post)
