Congrats! I got the Long Gone a few weeks back at Kiddie Kar, but the Backwoods Bomb has thusfar eluded me. That's a must have. The color is lousy but that's always been a favorite casting since the first time I saw it in a Hot Wheels collector guide.

Tip for your manual shots.

With the nature of where and how you've shot before, consider using lower ISO speeds, say 80-200 to reduce the noise in your pictures.

It'll lead to a longer exposure, but the shots will be more comparable to what you've taken before.

Also when taking closeups like this consider changing the shot mode to "burst" if you can, that way you can take 2-3 extra shots to choose the best of the bunch to use.

Good eyes Jermaine! Here is the EXIF info from the camera ...

https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/v98DV82kL64diyCenwrFVdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?full-exif=true

I was taking the pic under my lamp (artificial light - that's why i used a higher ISO) ... I'll shoot at a lower ISO next time and review the results ...oh and yes my camera will do burst mode. thx again for the tips!
