Was coming home, saw this empty lot off the freeway, decided to drop in and try to improve my camera skills. Fired off around 40 shots, i thought these were the best; Hope you all enjoy

Im diggin your light set up, have you ever actually flipped umm on? and how do the work? just like a relay, convert to a switch into the cab? did you have to drill through the fire wall? or do our titans have some fog light relay we can tap into?, and possibly just get the fog switch from nissan? thanks..

Looking good, I like #3 the best.

Just a little constructive criticism cause I know you're interested in photoging and I know it helps me a lot when people give me specific tips. Be sure when going into different lighting (sun, shade, fluorescent light, etc.) to change your white balance accordingly. Don't leave it on auto, auto WB programs will always screw you

LOL Also pay attention to how the truck is situated in the frame, is one edge cut off, it there a pole growing out of the top of it?

These pics even better than the first pics you took so keep shooting and keep getting better!

i guess that could be what was wrong w/ the pics; for some reason i didn't like how the colors turned out, but i couldn't understand why. When paying attention to the WB, what is the ideal balance? I noticed this little graph on the LCD that i assume shows WB; is the goal to get that line as flat as possible?

Lines and subject placment in the photo is important, they draw the eye. Contrast is to and the mix of colors is also something to keep in mind, I could go on. I had a photography teacher who hated photos of autos, shows what he knows........ I took the photo of the Titan and Disco today.

You only get better by taking more photos and messing with your camera. Keep up the good work.

Well there should be a way to select different white balances on the camera. Usually you should have a WB for sunlight, cloudy weather, fluorescent lights, tungsten lights, etc. Just pick the one for whatever kinda light you're in and your colors will be more true. Also most cameras have a custom WB feature, basically you take a picture of a known white and your camera then recognizes white and adjusts the other colors accordingly.

Make sure you always have your cameras manual w/ you, I always carry mine just incase I forget how to do something.

Pro, awesome truck too!
