JhnRX7 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I posted these over at ZDriver already, but I figured I would post over here as well. About 6 months ago I picked up my first DSLR and decided to start an automotive photography hobby. And of course my test subject of choice is my '83 280zx (NA). Enjoy. And a setup shot: Images link to my flickr page. Click to view large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JhnRX7 Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 I love the second one. The car just looks so freaking shiny. Very nice Thanks WOW! Very Nice! How did you do the black trim? Thanks, It was originally done when the car was painted, however I have had to re-do some parts since then. You just simply tape off everything VERY well, sand down the trim with a scotchbrite pad to give it a rough finish for the paint to stick to, and paint with desired color. Spray paint works fine.

Vinh Thanks, I will definately take some shots of your Z's for you... Once this rain stops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My choice would be a different wheel combo and lower the stance..then perfect! Yasin Thanks! I am actually waiting on drift_zx to complete his coilover setup and if it is good I will be purchasing a set. I am also currently on the lookout for some oldschool mesh wheels: Enkei 92's, riken's, BBS RS', etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JhnRX7 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 The bumper trim looks better Yeah, I attempted to fix that a couple of weeks ago. Its still not perfect, but its better. what dslr are you using? and what settings were you using if you dont mind me asking? Im trying to expand my style and i love how crisp your pics are and the usage of aperture. I shoot with a nikon d60 btw =]. I am shooting with a Canon XSi. Each image is a link, if you click on it you will be linked to the flickr page of that picture. While there, you can comment on pictures, view the picture large, or you can click "more properties" which shows all EXIF data for that image (including all settings used for that shot). I have been shooting mainly with my Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM lens. Unless I am using my lights, I always shoot wide open at f/2.0 which gives a very nice blurred background. Also this particular lens is one of the sharpest lens' that Canon makes, so that contributes to the crispness of the image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JhnRX7 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Where did you pick up the emblem for the horn button?
