Car looks pretty awesome! According to your post on JDMST you have a big fancy camera you're struggling with?

If I had to guess I'd say you were using MF (manual focus), i did the same when I got my first DSLR but it really isn't necessary in most cases, just use AF and let the camera do most of the work until you understand it a little better.

I worked it all out for myself and I have taken some shots I'm pretty happy with. HTH.

GreenMachine - Yes, that's the old mans SP250.

Jace - yeah, it was my first time using a proper camera, it was a Nikon D3000 or something. When i had it on auto focus the flash kept popping up and wrecking the photo so i put it on some other setting. I'm learning! slowly.. :)

My recent addition. Enkei Raijin 18x8 +45.
It cleared at the front without issues but the rears where touching slightly when loaded. We just had to roll that little lip up on the inside.
