Thanks Dustin! And sounds good, Brendon. If I get a T3i I'll definitely check out the 50mm 1.8. Have to finish my Christmas shopping first lol.

First thing I'd buy in terms of lenses (other than the 18-55mm kit lens, of course) is the 50mm 1.8. It's sharp, looks great and is the cheapest lens in Canon's lineup. It's the cheapest lens in Canon's lineup because of build quality, not image quality. The build quality is pretty shoddy but it's an absolutely fantastic lens.

Thanks West! Yes it's always great when the owners will rev their engines when they see you admiring the car!

Nice catch Nick! That's the best part of spotting when you get the chance to hear them. Well done.

Thanks for the link, Ryan. Probably if and when I do get a new camera, I'll wait till after Christmas, because a lot of electronics and whatnot are on fire sales then (to clear inventory).

Well, the lense you get with the camera is great, but for Christmas, I am getting a lense with a larger zoom range. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-EF-S-55-250mm-F4-5-6-Cameras/dp/B00EFILVQU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1417021756&sr=8-3&keywords=canon+lens+55-250mm

Thanks for the insight, Brendon! The lack of zoom is really holding me back right now, which is why the shot's a little unfocused. I haven't ever had a chance to try out a T3i, though I've been very impressed by the quality of photos it takes. On Monday, I should have a chance to check a T3i out at a camera store in Charlotte, though trying to shoot inside without any prior experience with the camera is kinda hard. What lenses do you have/recommend if I end up getting one?

I think it's a bit out of focus.. great angle though. But yeah I also have a Canon EOS Rebel T3i. I recommend Canon over Nikon because Canon is not only more user friendly, but the image quality (i.e the colors are more vibrant and realistic than Nikon) is better than Nikon and the lenses—despite them being of the same quality as, if not better than—are cheaper than Nikon.
Also, if you can find a decent used one, do it. I spent $632 on mine new and it was a pain in the ass to find out a lightly used one for between $450 and $500 on Amazon. You can get a new Canon T3 for $450. Don't do that, Lol.

Thanks Sebastian! And sweet Ryan, I've heard great things about the T3/T3i, and I'll definitely give it a good look when I buy a new camera. But I do know a professional photographer who told me to start out by buying used equipment, so...

Thanks Ryan! Yeah I think non-eye level shots add another element to the picture, it just takes practice getting them right. The most important thing you can do is begin to assume a crouching position whenever you see a car, because getting to "eye level" on a car helps the picture come out better. Once you are comfortable with that, start experimenting with different angles and whatnot. Editing also helps tremendously, and can be done easily via Pixlr or (if you buy it) Photoshop or Lightroom. I just wish I had bought a D-SLR already, these longer-range shots are hard to pull off well on a pocket digital camera.

Nice angle! I have been trying to take my photos from different angles like you, and some of them look pretty good!
