Photo Tips
The first shot you see here is done with no adjustments
whatsoever. You can see the fluorescent color cast from
using the auto white balance setting.

Here the camera was adjusted to center the CMC models
Bugatti in the middle of the shot. The exposure mode set
the F-Stop to f/3.5 and the Shutter  Speed to 1/25 sec. You
can see how the front and rear of the bugatti is not in focus.

On this shot, the only change was to set the white balance
to flash, which is usually a lightning bolt icon. you can play
around with the white balance settings on your camera to
get the best color balance you can.
Now this is more like it. The F-Stop was kept at f/8 (which is
the highest for this camera) and the shutter speed was
bumped to 1/8 sec. I have done no color adjustments on
any of the picture on this page. The lead-in shot on the
previous page is color adjusted, tweaked, and set to our
color standards. And to think these shot came from an
affordable camera with easy to find, and of course, a tripod.
Oops! The exposure was set to manual at 1/4 sec and f/8
F-stop. Little bit overexposed, wouldn't you say? This is the
beauty of digital cameras, you get to see the result, and
mistakes, instantly.
