Decided to play with the new lens

Bought this lens for my wife for Christmas and i never got around to take shots of the car with it. For a first attempt i think i did ok. could be much better once i figure out correct settings and how to take pics of the car at the right angles. If you guys have any suggestions please let me know as i do want to sharpen my skills.

Nikon D90
Nikor Lens 1.8F 50mm

you got a new lens that does f1.8 and you shot pictures in f5.6??

and your white balance is rather... off...

could use a slower shutter speed...

white balance was set to auto. I didn't have a stand with me and it was getting fairly dark so i didn't want to mess with shutter speed too much to avoid blur. First time shooting the car using this lens so i'll get it right soon enough

lower the fstop and shoot at same shutter speed... 1/20 and it should come out a bit brighter....

cool thanks! You know what i remember i played around with highlights and shadows on photoshop and that could also be a reason why the images are a little dark. I couldn't get the angel eyes to look properly which is why i did that and then i decided to do it to all of the photos lol

I don't see why you would need to but yes you can run them all the time.

I usually just use the angel eyes as my daytime running lights lol

That's exactly how i feel especially when i see all these crazy photos that look ridiculously nice and the picture consists of a stock vehicle. Don't know how they do it :dunno:
