Man, that came out nice!

 

Truck looks great, on the bumpers.

The pictures are amazing!! How do you get such clean, crisp pictures like that? Is it a program or camera you are using? How did you get the interior picture?

NICE you think about line x'ing the bottom part of dors for a two tone look?

 

Welcome to f150online!

i hope you still own that gto...

jlstang, I have thought about that to tie it all in together...the lower part of the sides and a thin area up over each fender around the wheels...but I don't know if I could do anything that permanent to the paint of my truck.

Tycoz, I've been doing photography as a hobby for a few years. It's my primary hobby. The first two shots are HDRs but that was my first time ever trying that. Some of it is equipment (I have a decent camera) but the majority of it is just knowing how to manipulate light and your equipment to get the look I want. I like a clean crisp look and over the years I've just learned how to achieve it.

 

I thought the name was familiar...ls1tech.

Good looking truck. Do you know which backspacing your wheels are? The 5" or 5.47? I just sold my chrome wheels and plan on buying some black ones this spring and the thugs are on my maybe list.

Thanks

 

How do you actually go about achieving this though? Not trying to hijack your thread, sorry, just would like to learn more about photography. I read the thing NCSU_05_FX4 posted but doesn't really tell you how to do it. I'm guessing I would need a better camera then my Sony Cybershot

 

Im loving the dark mean look, looks very sick man!

 

nice pics, where did you get the white gauges?

 

I got the white gauge overlays from stylintrucks.com I think it is. They're the US Speedo Daytona overlays. I've got the blue needle kit sitting here waiting for the blue LEDs to come in then I'll be converting the cluster over to blue lighting to match the Pioneer double din cd player.

Thanks Ballin, I absolutely love your truck. What tires are you running? I'd really like to get an H-bar grill painted to match, a light bar just like that, and get a front bumper with fogs. That's down the road though.

Tycoz, it's a lot more than what could be covered in a post here. A better camera will help, yes, but it won't transform your pictures. The photographer takes the picture, not the camera. It's just a tool. I'd HIGHLY recommend picking up the book Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson (amazon.com has you covered here). Get a good prosumer camera (like the Canon G10 or a used G9) or an entry level dSLR (you can find Canon XTs and Nikon D50s or go new with a Canon XTi or Nikon D40 or D60) for fairly good prices, you just need something with full manual control over aperture/shutter speed/ISO, and then just learn your camera's settings and start working on shooting in good light and you'll be set.

 

dkstone, yes sir that's me from Tech. I keep this name pretty much everywhere I go so it's easy to spot...even though my old 99 Trans Am is long gone. Not real sure on the backspacing but pretty sure it's the 5.47" with a 0mm offset (tirerack.com is where I got them from and they have all the specs listed there). So far I'm loving them. Ridiculously easy to clean and they look wicked too. My only regret is not going bigger on the tires but that's nothing that can't be remedied down the road. I'm thinking some 305/65s will be in the future.

 

looks good i like the linex bumpers !!!

do you plan on doin anything with your tails and chrome grille surround?
a black grille surround would look great IMO

 

Looks good. What susp. are u running i like the stance and also what is the rim and tire setup?

 

Not sure what i like better. Your truck or the pictures. Both are GREAT!
