I found a lot of places. I came to find out that my camera sucks Every picture i took came out dark. What i ended up doing is setting up my camera on Landscape (daytime) and for some reason, without a flash, it illuminated a lot better. But when presing down on the button, it took 2 seconds to snap the picture. In those two seconds, my hand is moving a little bit. According to my screen on the camera they came out VERY GOOD. When i uploaded the pictures on my comp, they came out blurry!!! So now i gotta burrow one of those camera holders and set a timer so the camera is still at all times. So i gotta go back one of these days to get a good pic. THERE IS NO WAY these pics can be taken during the day. My only chance is night time. (atleast downtown pics). I was all over the streets taking my pictures waiting for no cars to be around so i can stand in the middle of the street snapping pictures Almost got runned over a few times...LMAO! I dont know if this is against the rules... but ill post some of my favorite pictures in this thread, and you guys let me know which spot is the best. I then will retake the picture then submit it for the calender. I took like 45 pictures and ended up deleting like 20 because of the darkness. All my pictures can be seen here, but ill post selective pictures... http://s111.photobucket.com/albums/n...endar%20Shots/ | | | 08-29-2007, 09:50 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Southern California - Orange county Posts: 978 | 5th from the top is a good one i think __________________ 1995 318ti Cosmos Black Bilsteins w/ H&R Sport, Depos w/ angeleyes and HID 5K, 50% short throw kit, Custom fogged intake, AC schnitzer pedels w/ deadpedels, leather stickshift knob, vitesse tuning Ebreak boot w/ shift boot, X-Brace, 325/328 brake upgrade, Gray millpoint leather and cloth interior, custom computer multimedia system, and Style 5 BBS 17" rims, M3 Mirrors, CF Hood | | | 08-29-2007, 11:23 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: SoCal Posts: 549 | A tripod will be your best friend to keep steady for night shots. __________________ 318Ti Sport (Gone, but thanks for your years of service) | M3 E30 | 190E-16V | M Coupe E36/8 | | | 08-29-2007, 11:25 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | Quote: Originally Posted by AutoM3otives A tripod will be your best friend to keep steady for night shots. | Yea i know, i need to burrow one.

What I do most of the time is find a solid object to place the camera. Then set the camera to a 5 second delay. You set the delay because even the vibration from you pushing the shutter button can cause shaking. Thats just my suggestion.

And i did think about taking a solid object with me but itll be funny running around the streets with something to place it on. I gotta be In n Out doing these pics just incase of police. So carrying something a little to big isnt something id like to do. A tripod will be easier. | | | 08-29-2007, 09:46 PM | #12 | Member Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Nashville,TN Posts: 78 | Dude the one's with neon lights look the best man///Like them alot/// | | | 08-29-2007, 11:31 PM | #13 | Member Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: CA Posts: 43 | I think if #6 and #3 look good... maybe show a little more of the building next time, like a low angle shot. | | | 08-29-2007, 11:33 PM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | Quote: Originally Posted by SoCalpinoy86 I think if #6 and #3 look good... maybe show a little more of the building next time, like a low angle shot. | LoL those were the deadliest shots i took last night.
