[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 46183, member: 6548"] A little background information...I run an upholstery shop located within an used car lot. The gentlemen who owns the carlot pays a business called Dealer Specialities to come around and take pictures of his cars and list them at various places on the net. He had been paying them to list his stuff on Craigslist but he quit doing that. $400 a month! Well he knows I am into photography so he asked me a few weeks back if I wanted the job at $10 per car and he sells 15-20 cars per month. So I said well I need to get a digital camera. That is where the D5000 came in and I just really needed to get one anyway. So today I listed 5 cars 5 photos and made $50! Here is one of them shot with the 50mm...I had to stand far enough away to get the whole car in the frame that I was able to zone focus. I set the aperture at F8 and F16 and played around with various shutter speeds at 200 ISO mainly until I got the right image...this camera is frigging cool (and photobucket still sucks big balls)!
