Hi all! I was given a very nice present in the form of a Nikon D3300 DSLR camera that I have been playing around with lately. It’s my first DSLR, and takes vastly better pics than my old point-and-shoot Canon Powershot A720 (obviously!).
Thought I’d try some quick night shots tonight while sitting here at home bored - they didn’t come out amazingly, but they are good enough to me - I mostly just wanted to see how the camera did in low light conditions (there is one of those dim sodium streetlamps on the power pole in our driveway though). So, to you my fellow Opponauts, I say, show me your parking lights! :D
Here are mine from my DD 2009 Hyundai Accent L hatchback, lovingly called ‘Humdrum’:
WIthout flash....
WIth flash for some detail...
Bonus DSLR kitten for your time - say hi to Tazz! :)

How about DRLs instead?

i took this a few years ago. It was insanely hot and she was panting after chasing a laser around for while.
which i eventually turned into this:

My DRLs are like dim headlights so no go on just marker lights.

Close enough.
Also taken with a D3300!

2001 Prelude right after I got it running a couple years ago. Low beams, because I don’t have any with just the parking lights on and I’m too lazy to go outside.

Well....there’s amber in that second pic, so I guess it counts as parking lights? :P Cute kitty when she’s not in a hellscape! :P

Yay! Nice pics! Lets me know what mine is capable of - seems like a nice, sturdy little camera! :)
Love the Merc! :D

Halo rings on Bimmers get a pass for being cool. :P

Your light stalk doesn’t have an option for just parking lights? My DRLs are just low-voltage on the low beams as well, but I have a setting on the stalk for parking lights. My old Subie had a switch above the steering wheel for parking lights....I’d be surprised if you don’t!

they’re watermared because is used it for instagram, and the non watermarked ones show the carplate and i'm too lazy to go back and edit :P

Parking lights and DRL lights on the BRZ. Taken on my Canon 6D and the plastic fantastic 50mm f1.8.

Thanks!
You’ll love that camera. Something I’d recommend if you haven’t done it already is change the file type to raw from jpeg. And get this lens .

Oh and there is a photography blog if you were unaware.

Well, probably the reason it won't post the photo. That's embarrassing

It’d 8:30 here but still very bright outside.

My parking lights are a lot different than I thought they were.
I thought just the orange lower part lit up.

I picked that one up recently, still deciding how much I like it. While not the most critical thing, the construction feels really cheap, even compared with the kit lens. At the moment, I still find myself liking the pictures I take with this lens the best:

Niva on the left, MJ on the right. And full headlights, cause the pic already exists. Randomly took these long ago when I could still park them side by side.

Remote start turns on running lamps and always makes me smile as I approach it.

I’ll have to look into this! I’ve just got the stock lense at the moment. Using jpeg right now as the rest of my photos are all jpeg, but may have to change it to RAW. :)

Looks Camry-y to me, but I could be wrong...?

Still love that Niva....the light setup is so distinctive :D

I really love the styling of the current-gen Chargers...if I were a big car guy (I’m not), I’d definitely consider getting one - love the look of ‘em!
I actually quite like the Dart as well, styling-wise, but I’m a hatchback guy, so the Dart’s not as practical as I would like :(

First mod I did to my car, really makes it look great. I got them for about $160 on Black Friday, and the install is simple but tough if you have larger hands. I don’t have any good pictures of my own car, but here’s a good comparison shot from lux.

I’ll look into those, I really like the way the white angel eyes look. I didn’t realize it was so easy to do.

It’s nice because now you can really see the angel eyes during the day, and in the morning/afternoon oh man they just look great. I bought mine on tunerstock, they were a little bit cheaper than all the other places.
