Very nice! Does it have an adjustable shutter/aperture mode? If so, run in A for Aperture Priority mode, then use the smallest aperture you can (larger F number, like F8 or so) and you will get a wider/deeper depth of field. Shooting close-ups like that can be tough with a shallow depth of field.

Unless you were trying to make the back of the car out of focus in the first photo, and then in that case, very cool shot. :P



I'm still playing with indoor still shots with my D70S Nikon 6 months after I got it. Natural light is definitely the nicest to shoot with, and all of the incandescents and halogens in my house make it tough to get good shots indoors. :(

scr8p, i was able to convince the seller about the rims. He just sold it to the second high bidder.
Re: camera...you have to do a bit more playing around. I'm only using a FUJI FinePix A210. Only 3.2 mp, yours is a 7.1.
You can see up to the ugliest detail. :D I'll be selling this (NOVAK 4) on ebay. Ugly but is's working like a champ.
