so me and the wife agreed on a nikon d3100. it comes with the standard 18-55mm lens as well as a 55-200mm lens all for 860 with an awesome backpack bag and a storage card. she is really excited and so am i. i can finally get some good shots of the car and of my family. ive already started to look for a good macro lens to get her for christmas. thanks for the advice and once i get it ill shoot a few shots for u guys to critique

wow... learned some very interesting things on lighting up a car at night, as I don't want to spend an absolute ton of money on lighting equipment. I currently shoot with a cannon 60D with an 18-135 if-S lens.

and one shot just for shits and giggles, just want your opinion on it:

I like it, I would like to see the reverse though too, car in focus.

I got one of those $20 cordless LED shop lights..... ... . and now any exposure over 0.8 seconds is just a total white out....

..... What should I set the amperature to??? ......... the ISO setting was at 3200,,, ,, what should it be set at for a 30 sec exposure and light painting???

[Minuki]

Aperture should be around 22 and ISO about 100. Use the Shutter Speed priority and set it to the longest possible

Your ISO setting is why it was blown out. Set your ISO at 100, shutter speed at 15"-30", and then change your aperture accordingly to help control how much light is in the picture.
