just a 5 year old Canon Rebel XT, I need to ugprade

 

The pictures look great! Post some more when you get a chance.

Did you ever get a $750 coupon?

 

Haha nope, never ever got it and was at least on 20+ brochures. I did get $1000 rebate though a day early so that helped a little.

 

yep you can wash with Dawn to strip off all the wax if you have done any of that already. Then clay then do a nice polish (if you want to) then top is with a good wax.

I do a bit more steps when I do my cars but detailing is a little therapy for me so I add in a couple more products before applying the LSP (last step product)

 

Let me hear your process! I've got all weekend to spend with my car so I'm up for a challenge!

 

It's the photographer, not the camera that makes good pictures


Just a nitpick, my mom is an amateur photographer and always gets asked about the camera

 

That's not 100% true at all. (In no way am I trying to talk down Christie's shots) But a great Photographer could know how to get the best shots, but if he/she doesn't have a quality camera, the pic's will come out entirely different than they would from a very nice expensive camera.

I would know, i borrowed my dad's high quality camera (that he uses for work in the movie industry) and took some pictures (up at mammoth mountain) after i had taken them the day before with my Camera on my cell phone... the difference was remarkable...

 

We're on separate pages here. What I'm saying is that the composition and what not of the photos and the way in which they are taken has a lot to do with the photographer.

I only mentioned that up there because I'll hear someone ask my mom "That's a GREAT! picture, you must a wonderful camera!"

The camera can only do so much to make a shot great. A camera will give you good quality, but the person behind the camera makes the shot. (I finally got that into words!)

 

I think the camera can help you only so far. The person behind the camera has to know how to use it to get the full benefit. But yes, a camera can make it easier to get a great shot.

 

Great pics Christie, but how bout some interior and engine shots? Those areas have been sadly neglected.

 

Great pics and sharp car. I love black but an not sure I could live with it. I also live in the bluegrass state. I dont own anything that nice but man she is hot. Thats a great looking car. I wish you the best with it.

 

I had 2 interior shots in my other thread, but I plan to get a nice couple of engine shots this weekend. It's hard to capture the interior at night

 

Hey csledd does you camera mount hold all types of camera, or just specific brands / models ?

 

No it'll hold anything pretty much unless it has some weird hole in the bottom of it, but I think that's pretty universal

 

well that's cool, your shots you took definitely make me want to get a camera mount for my car

hows the weather over in KY, still all stormy out?

 

It is today, it's real off and on. Yesterday was beautiful. I just hope the weather is good one day this weekend so I can get my car claybarred and waxed

 

nice, i wish it was that way here, but were finally getting our clear hot summer days in august O_O

I was actualy just thinking about the same thing yesterday about claying and waxing the car as well, I have never clayed before, but i checked out the How-To on autogeek.net, so i got the jist of it now

 

In the third picture there is a reflection. Is that you or someone else taking the picture? By the way, great pics. Gotta luv those wheels.

 

lol anyone else notice the NO PARKING on the wall XD nice location =P

 

You can't really tell much from it but yeah that was me.. I photochopped myself out of the rest of the pictures but kinda liked being in one of them lol
