The car looks like it's been dropped - do you know if it has?

Awesome pics. The last one would have been perfect if you'd put the car on the bottom left with the lights on, and metered the lighting so that the light on the car was just a little below. That would have given the trees a darker outline, and the car would have have just the right amount of light. The other two are great, I love the middle one. Just wondering, did you use a SLR digital camera? If so, what kind.

Dragon i guess your a photographer or have it as a hobby? Also congrats on the car. I understand the age and working to pay it off deal. I don't have the G yet but id be in a similair situation, but theres one way to look at it. Your young once so why not do it now cuzas much fun as it would be to have it at 40 its even more fun pimpin it at 20.

Thats how ive thought when i got into streetbikes. Yea i could be using the money on something else and wait till i had a real Career job, but that would be NO fun. So in my case i already have a 04 G waiting for me to get whenever i want it. But once i make the decision theres no turning back

thanks for the compliments guys. and thanks dragongcoupe for the advice. im very interested in becoming a better photographer. the camera i used was my kodak dx4530.
as to my age, im 19. ill be 20 in july.
and about the drop, im pretty sure it is the stock ride height. i know i bought the car with the clear corners. i believe the previous owner also had the front grill tinted to match the color of the car. on the g's grill, is it all chrome? or is the mt fuji emblem chrome and the grill itself is a little darker? because thats how mine is.

Not a photography, but it is a very intense hobby of mine. I'm 17, but was introduced to serious photography about 2 years ago. My dad gave me the means (nice cameras) to get better because he was a photographer earlier in his life.

98intrigue, I'm always looking to improve myself. I think the best way to get better is keep taking more photographs. I usually try to capture as many as I can with my digital SLR, with as many techniques and styles as position. Then I check them out on my computer, see what looks good to me, what doesn't. Keep repeating it on the next time I shoot. From the looks of it, you've got some talent already. I'm not familiar with the camera you're using but keep it up. If you ever want to talk about techique, ask for tips, or offer advice, feel free to PM me.

Thumbs up Wallpaper Versions

Man it'd be sweet if you could post wallpaper sized versions of those pics.

I think others would agree.
