Williams Center Photo Shoot. Y33>>>

You guys would not believe what happend..So I put on those spacers yesterday and today I went for a drive and it rode like poop..all wobbly and rubbing every where..So I got home and took the wheels off. As I was doing this I noticed I had like about 7mm gap to be exact..The lug nuts for the spacers were sticking out about 7MM. SO I was riding on 5 small contact points..Thank god I was only out for a bit and nothing happend. So I went down and bought some 16mm tall lug nuts and remounted everything and took it out for a nice little photo shoot..What a major difference back to normal..I rubbed just a bit on hard dips on the right side but thats becuase my toe is so far off it sticks looks like I trying to turn...Now that I have everything where I want I will take it for an allignment and have it all fixed...Here are the pics from the photoshoot enjoy and comments allways welcom..

freakin sick!!!! i want my q to look like that one day!

Awesome pics!  Those are some sick camber on the front and back.  Lucky you cought your lugnut problem early.

nice shots man!!! when are you gonna paint those black peices??! :pat:

i love your camber. everything looks absolutely perfect so far.

damn that is one hot car the front to rear does match up so nice

:cool2:very nice

I'm soooooooo jealous! :pat: 
Those look like there right out of a magazine for an ad!
We need to meet up so you can do a shoot of my car, yours and C4president!
He just got his lowered
:biggthumpup: :biggthumpup: :biggthumpup: :biggthumpup:
 
I can only imagine what people think when they see your car rolling down the street!
Man I gotta lot of work to do!
 
BTW- I think this might have been answerd before but, you've never been pulled over for the JDM plates?

It looks great, but now the car really needs to go one single color. No more black skirts and rear lip, I really feel like it is taking away from the overall look of the car.

THanks Mayng..I dont know why you play down your ride so much its looks sick!
Na cops never pull me over..knock on wood..Tucson AZ does not have a law for front plates yet so pretty much anything goes as longs as its not to distracting. 
 
YOu should see the faces..To day So foo made me roll my window down..I thought he was trying to sweat me so I was like f#$@ this I rolled down my window and he said F%^#$ foooo your shat is F%$^& PHAT daaaaaammmnnn He knew it was a Q45 and asked what Cima ment. and I told him explianed to him in a quicky that this was a Nissan CIMA in Japan and this is how they mod cars...Trying to push the scene yaa huurrd....Then I went to autozone looking for an air compressor cause mine broke and I had people come out just to look at it...When I do take it out it is usually like this....people trip out.........
 
I would love to do a phots shoot with your and C4 but we live about 400-600 miles away from each other...maybe when I get my aero kit and have my shit done up I will toe it over it cali for a nice photo shoot.

SIK pics!!!

What type of camera and lens are you using??? Looks like a pro photoshoot..

Nice place to shoot and good job on your white balance.  Also you're getting better with that camera.  This shot would have been even cooler had you shown more foreground slightly out of focus (I think you know what I mean):
[IMG]http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/q45t07/11.jpg[/IMG]

And I love the colors in this shot..great blues and ambers:
[IMG]http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/q45t07/6-4.jpg[/IMG]

stance, fitment, accessories, wheels, ride height, all amazing!

personal opinion though, paint that thing black or burgundy, and that will be the sexiest car in the US.

Great shots. ::thumbsup::

man car looks better and better everytime I see it great shots looks right out of VipCar magazine

I'll sometimes play down my ride to push me to go harder on my car! But I do see where I need to improve! That's why I like this forum alot! Once in and out of the paint shop I'll be alright until your next mod! LOL!
 
Yea, I often get them foos that make me turn down my music and compliment my ride and we have long stop lights so after say "thank you", there's always this occurred[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000000] [COLOR=silver]silence........... and then I turn my music back up and drive off! hahahahaha! But always winder what the hell's going on w/ my car. I mostly just hide behind the curtains! :biggthumpup: [/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

What type of camera and lens are you using??? Looks like a pro photoshoot..[/quote]
I am using a Nikon D50 with the kit lens..most of these shots though I used my 55/200 telephoto zoom lens with VR.. All these were hand held no Tripod...pretty amaizing..I had my tripod with me but its kinda getting old and pain to set up..I think its time for a new triod...one that I can get real low with as well as high...I have my eye on a couple..
 
But yeah thanks man...I have been taking alot of pics to get more and more familiar with settings and what not..Thats the only way to get better..once I get a good shot with good color and lighting then I like to right down all my valules for the future...I keep a little paper tablet with me in my camera case..hee hee hee...Plus it helps to have PhotoShop for editing...check out these few pics I inhanced in PS
 
This is Four pics allterend and merged into one...I was able to bring out some of the 
darker tones by a proccess that the call HLR but I do it my way.....
[IMG]http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/q45t07/Untitled-7.jpg[/IMG]
 
Same here three images with color inhacements to bring out the colors 
[IMG]http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/q45t07/Untitled-5.jpg[/IMG]
Another example of some PS editing..Unsharp mask is a great tool for editing photos. along with color match..

To the rest of the complaments Thanks ! A magazine..Wow I feel honered to have someone say that...because Thats what I was shooting for...some of those bad azz VIP mag shots...still gots lots to learn though...

Very nice ride...

Not too make your head bei or anything but I would say alot of your pics are better than most of the ones I see in the VIPmags! Just my onion!
I was gonna ask what camera you use! Glad that question was asked. I really want to get into photography and upgrade my shitty kodak camera by the end of the year. I feel we all can learn alot from you Zion_97 so be prepared.......I'll be PMing you in the future for tutoring lessons! LOL!:dance:

Naa man not at all. I all ready told firelizard a long time ago my heads allways been big..LOL
 
Once again I thank you for the kinds words..I do my best at what I do all the time and go %110 percent in eveything I do..Thats what I teach my kids...Well I honestly have to say that for not using a tripod for the type of shots these are  I was pretty effen amazed when I got home and got to see them..of course some of them photos have been edited which not all people take the time to do or know how..
 
I will start by saying I am not an expert in photography and I am student just like yourself..Any help any of you need, if I have the anwers,time to explain and teach I will...I do a lot of this for you folks anyways..So dont hesitate to ask when you guys need some advice...
 
Peace

This photoshot is STERLING! Nice colors in all shots. Your attempted HDR looks good as well... 

Camber seems fine to me and the lip in those wheels are amazing.

I wonder what it looks like in REAL LIFE? I don't think pics do it any justice.

:biggthumpup::biggthumpup::biggthumpup:

Car looks good man, I like the photography too..

Dizzzam thats hot!!! Nice pics. Got me a new desktop for my work computer lol.

Broadway and Craycroft. In front of toys r us..I drove around  to the back.. there is a lot of places around there. I also like downtown and next I am going to hit up the UofA if you go,  drive around you can find cool areas were your surrounded by red brick...this time I am going to take my a tripod..

rich....the car is looking better and better every time i see it.  great job on the pics.   I'm definitely going to have to pick up a better camera.  It seems that it'll open up alot more possibilities as far as capturing the q.    one of these days I'll get back into snapping pics, gotta stack some money though 'cause between the q and my hotrod all my loot goes quick.

nice zion nice man! Love the work and the color of the car.  Starting to respect the cream.  You made justice to it.  Keep it up bro! Holla!

Yo Z Im late but I gotta give to you...your car is looking ILL bro and the pics are supa dope...

Fantastic job on the car and photos!!
Can you tell me what was your lens set in the second last shot? was is about 120mm?

Sorry man I dont even recall..Usually I like to right things down but this time I didn't...

no prob...your ride is hot and your skills with camera are excellent :-)
