Pictures of my Car with new Nikon D3100

Hello all,

i know while all of you are watch fans, some are also camera and car fans. here are some test pictures that i took with my new D3100. they might now be the best, so bear with me as i know they need some fine tuning. please let me know what you think. Criticism is welcome. you can't learn unless you know what is wrong or unless you go up against the best!

Thanks!

Very nice indeed, i am an Audi fan and have not seen this colour in the UK. Photographs of the Scottish film set and my Audi will be posted later due to the help of Johny.

Pics 1,3,4 and 5 have bad reflections in the windshield, side window and 5 has bad reflections in the hood. Pic 3, you cut off part of the car in an awkward way. 4, your wheels are turned the wrong way. Also, don't forget to take your dangly thing off the mirror!
Exposure in 1,3,4 and 5 are very good. Be wary of hot spots like mirrors, though. I'd wait till much later light to take photos. Fewer reflections to contend with and much warmer light.

Sweet lookin' S4 - love those cars. I agree though, early morning or dusk are better times, and then you can open up the exposure a little bit more too.

I've had 5 A4's since 1996, I haven't pulled the trigger on an S4 yet but if I did, I doubt it would be that color LOL.

Wow 467hp is impressive. im at stock at 355hp. If i ever decided to pull the trigger on a turbo perhaps the tides would change

V1's are by far the best it has saved me more times than I can count including the day I took that pic. I was cruising at 145 on this long stretch of road that was about 2-3 miles

Gorgeous car Greg but I think I may have you around the bends. What kinda skid pad rating is that car at she is a true beauty and off the line could crush me ha.
