  • Bye-bye Yellow Civic, Hello Brown!

    So you may have seen that since the Festiva, I bought a yellow 77 Civic, after deciding it has more rust issues than i'd like to deal with I happened to be in the right place at the right time & another civic came up for offer just when I decided I would part with the yellow one.

    Here she is:

    1979 Honda Civic

    - 1.6L engine from an 81 Accord (work done by honda guru friend years ago)
    - 5 Speed transmission
    - Original Paint (in & out)
    - Later model civic seats
    - Full exhaust
    - Massive 12" wheels

          I need your camera specs. I have a canon rebel t3i with a tamron lens I think it's a 75-300. I wish I could take pics like you.

                    I don't know nearly as much as I should about photography considering i've been doing it for so many years, but let me take a look.

                    Canon 400D Entry Level DSLR (bought in Australia many years ago)
                    EX Sigma 10-20mm 1:4-5.6

                    As for editing, I just put on the vignetting in Lightroom, that's it.

                      When I can afford it, I am looking at getting the Canon 60D, with the 18-200 lense....The package at costco.com is $1250 with the camera, lense, memory card, and camera bag.......cant wait!

                            You should be able to achieve that with your camera. Maybe look up some tutorials / settings to shoot night shots with.
