Default New Turn Signals + New Camera = Pics

About a month ago I finished the front end of my car with a set of black housing turn signals from eBay. Saturday I picked up my first DSLR, a Canon T2i Rebel, so today I went out and took some pics of my girl.







The car is almost finished on the exterior. I'm still planning on doing a GT500 rear bumper and possible a stripe in the next year. Any comments on the pictures or for my next mod post it up.

Edit: Wow photobucket killed the quality of those pics. :/

Tanner,
Congrats on the new camera! I have a Canon SLR too and I love it! If you ever have any questions about using it or anything just shoot me a pm.

I went ahead and retouched one of your pics for you (force of habit) : p

Looks great, Tanner. Pretty good shots as well, I wish I had a fancy camera like that you know all my pictures are camera phone!

Good Job, Tanner! I see you bought the camera. I like photos 2,3, and 4. You really applied the "rule of thirds" there

When you can get yourself a polarizing filter. It will change the way your camera sees light, especially when you are doing daytime photography. Plus, you will be able to control reflections and glare better.

Good Job!

Thanks, Hotwheel. Matte would go good with the side skirts and chin spoiler.
Its between black or white.

Thanks for the chop, Reaper! It looks great.

Thanks, Kzonts.

Thanks, Eddie. Hit up CL you can find damn good deals on these cameras... that is if you can hold off on your car mods.

Thanks for your advice, OIIIIO. I'll have to look into some filters and a new lens. I could see this becoming addicting. Haha

Looks really good Tanner! Love those side markers. As far as stripes go, I'd say go for the black stripes. Is black on red a little plaid out? Maybe, but it's that way for a reason. It looks good! And I think with such a bright red body, a matte black stripe would look better than an equally bright white stripe.

Now, if I'm not mistaken, you are still planning on doing a future V8 swap? And if I remember correctly, you already have the 8.8 with 3.55s, right? I think you need to toss that rear end on first, then go with the gt500 rear bumper and finish it up with exhaust for now. Then grab the stripes! That'll be one BA looking ride.
