Erik Marroquin's Photography Thread

[erik228]

New to the forums, but have always loved the blog.
Really wanna show my progression just because a lot of friends have told me I sky-rocketed and I'm extremely bored.
Critiques are welcome.

Bought a Nikon D3100 in 2010 way before I had a car.

Started taking pictures of my car when I 1st lowered it in the summer of 2012

Then as I wanted more out of my camera that I couldn't obtain, I grew out of it and then came in a Nikon D600, didn't plan on going full frame but it happened


Hung out with some friends

[FunkyWagon]

loved the GLi pics.

[motocaddy]

Great pics!

[Dyesuperman]

Very nice pictures, I really like your style

[Staggered]

Love this thread. I have a question.. it seams that after you went full frame, the quality of your shots (in this thread) got 10x better. Was that a matter of the progression and experience with your first camera or a change in post processing/better camera or a combination of both? Just wondering if full frame makes that much of a difference.

[erik228]

Thanks guys!

I know right it's like a photo build thread haha
It's a little bit of both but quality in full frame did make a big difference to me.
And I now I take my pictures more seriously instead of just editing and uploading in 3 minutes. Take more time with them and not as lazy as before.

Here's some from yesterday
