Night photo shoot of my 05 Sedan

This is my first try at a night photo shoot. Found a cool spot near my house. The security guard in this parking lot couldn't understand that I was only there to take pictures of my car and I didn't want to go inside the office building, but he let me stay. A couple of guys were coming out of work late and though I was taking pics to sell the car. I said "Nooooo way" and then they asked me if I was shooting for a magazine. Shot with a Nikon D40 in shutter priority mode, 18-200VR lens, tripod (I really need a better one!), remote shutter release.

If I had a reason to wash my car every week I would. I only drive it a few times out of the week. 3000 miles and had it a year this month.

Thanks Alex, really enjoyed riding in your TT sedan a couple of weeks ago. I think I left my stomach in your back seat!

Very nice Marcus! God thats a sexy color!

Is your car a 5at? Is it a regular Journey?

Mine doesnt have premium, does yours?

Nice shots, when my car grows up, it wants to be your car

Thanks WBS, that's right LS is so sexy! I don't think I have the premium package (no nav or dual climate control).

I sold my OEM 17s on eBay to a guy with an M35 who was trading in his car and selling his 20s. No space to store them.
