I would but i dont feel like im ready for something like that just yet. I still need alot of practice before i can shoot some really nice cars but soon man i'll take you up on that squidd.

Neither was I when I got my job as a photographer. Only way to learn something is to do it, fail at it, dust yourself off and do it again.

TheSquidd · 09-22-2007, 01:42 PM

Put the damn hood down!

And the colors are all a bit ehhh.

Other than that I can't really complain.

I'm stupefied by how fast you developed.

i'll get the hood next time lol. here are few more pics..

jimmytango00 · 09-25-2007, 08:44 PM

here are a few more pics.. if you guys are getting bored of these let me know and i'll stop posting.

TheTimanator · 09-25-2007, 09:09 PM

your making me want to go out and start taking pictures again. Your pictures are great. And I am surprised at the low noise of the D40x. My D50 is pretty noisy at 800-1600 and I shoot mostly low light. Time for a D80!

So do you just walk around with your camera all day long?

jimmytango00 · 09-25-2007, 09:28 PM

yeah i carry it around most of the time.. these new ones are from a trip i took to santa barbara on sunday.

I'm not getting bored of them at all. I'm getting depressed that I can't take pictures that good.

2iv0 sx · 09-26-2007, 01:48 AM

Haven't check this post in a while and your progress went through the roof! Great work man

Your tempting me to go out and pick up the D40x.

Keep posting, definitely not bored of them.

jimmytango00 · 09-29-2007, 10:32 PM

thanks guys for all the cool comments bur remember that i honestly would not be taking pics like this if it wasnt for all your guys help...THANKS!! well here are a few more.

I know my horizon is off a bit on this last pic..working on it guys lol.

Pank · 09-30-2007, 12:02 AM

are you adding the vignetting in post or is that from your lense?

still a great job, btw. keep your white balance in check

*fliprayzin240sx* · 09-30-2007, 07:35 AM

Wow...I need to take more pix with my damn camera. Im a n00bie too. Bought a 30D about a month ago and still learning how to use it.

That first one of the fisherman and his tools is awesome.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 10-01-2007, 01:39 AM

What program do you use to edit it and make the shots look like that?

jimmytango00 · 10-01-2007, 01:49 AM

im using photoshop cs2 but honestly i dont use it too its fullest potential...but only because i suck at it. I just mess with sharpening and color.

yokotas13 · 10-01-2007, 03:51 AM

yeah

cc4usmc · 12-13-2007, 02:38 AM

bump. want more pics!

Helghast · 12-13-2007, 05:24 AM

WOW, you're progression was ridiculous.
From your first shot to the last, is night and day difference.
Keep up the good work.

I'm learning too, I recently put my Canon Rebel into Full Manual mode.
My First Niece's birth out of all the times, it was nerve racking, but I got through it with a couple of good shots.
I'm giddy like a little school girl about this Manual thing.

Anyways, keep it up, we'd love to see more shots!

jimmytango00 · 12-13-2007, 09:24 PM

i'll try and get more pics up tonight guys or you can just go on jpgmag.com/people/jimmytango00 and check out my work im always updating it. here are two for now

hijack3d · 12-13-2007, 11:37 PM

Awesome, man. I love the sky pics you posted on 9/25. Those colors are amazing.

KA-T_240 · 12-13-2007, 11:54 PM
