Excellent clarity of the photos, but if you don't mind some constructive criticism I'd recommend shooting in manual mode and compensating for the darkness of your car. It would be nice to see more detail of the car, but still nice job.

Your car is consistently underexposed because it's dark.

If your camera has different metering modes, try playing with them to see which gives you the best result. In some of your shots, your car is underexposed and the sky is blown out. You've used matrix metering, maybe try center weighted next time. Though I suspect this will certainly make the sky blow out.

Try to position the vehicle so you're not shooting into the sun so much.

Thank you for poiting out as I'm still learning to get a hold on this camera.

To be honest I didn't have much time to play with settings and changing lens. I was snap shooting on auto mode, got back to the car and drove out immediately everytime because most of the locations weren't legal for parking, and Long Beach is one bad ass neighborhood ...

I have a Sony also, I have heard that the h5 was a very good superzoom. I have the H9 many people were saying they liked the h5 better when I bought mine. I think it has a better night shot for starters. You can see through some blouses with that.

I do like how you have set your car up, slick. What is the front bumper, it seems to have a vent on the side? For brakes, looks?

I still give you an A+ for effort for shooting the photos and taking the time to post them on TN. Have fun playing with the camera and learning its settings and such...I know I do!

Cool, the H9 is 15x zoom while H5 is 12x. Wasn't that dramatic as i expected though Plus H9 is lighter, with motorized LCD screen, and nightshot technology Damn I need hook up for some night shot real bad


The bumper has the infamous RMM racing lip. I didn't think it was low enough to the ground so I adopted something from the honda boyz

For those of you with RMM lip
Fellow TN folks didn't like it. I think it looks perfect

My signature has the link to cardomain, which has the break down cost estimated. Hem maybe I should add the camera to the mod list Great mod it is. Sony discontinued this series so I got it refurbished for almost $300.

I'm officially on mod withdraw for now. I will just sit back and enjoy the rides, the meets, and the pictures
