I wanted to share some pictures I recently took of the little monster at night. I played with some new editing techniques...hope you guys like the results.

it's so hard to tell if you're grille is blacked out or not, but it's awesome if it is!

It's not, although seeing these pics definitely made me consider what it might look like...maybe in a black chrome. But then I feel like I'd have to do other stuff...grey headlight housings, gunmetal wheels, etc... Just how I am. All or nothing...consistency is key.

Thanks a bunch guys!!! Glad you like the pictures!

You can dude! Practice makes perfect. I'm a noob...you could get the hang of it in no time.

Thanks man! I agree...it's a very classic look. That's not to say I wouldn't like to spice it up a little bit. I'd love to get some pics of yours with those sexy Renntech's.

Much appreciated! Photoshop Lightroom...relatively simple to navigate.

Thanks!! It's a Nikon D40 with 18-55mm nikor lens....it's been a great camera to get started with!

Thanks dude! For the initial pics, I used a tripod...took multiple pics at multiple angles using various exposure settings. Basically, you just want something with good composition (angles, scenery, etc...) that's in focus. Beyond that, the software can do a TON!

I alter exposures and contrast, saturation/hue/lumination of various colors, black levels, alter shadows/lights/darks, remove little spots here and there...and in some of the shots, I'd delete things from the background that I didn't want in there.

Here's a pretty basic example...mostly just color and lighting alterations.

Really great editing work you did, you have a good eye!

Seriously, some of those pics look good enough to be straight out of the factory brochure!
