my only suggestion is the first pic, could have been closer to the car, good lighting though.

and the second pic, i woulda have done it a little more at an angle where youd see down the road more. not much but a little bit. and maybe of the DS not the PS. also see how the passenger side of the car is all shadow. i think thats what potts means when time of shot. no light on that side of the car, at that time of day

but Im not pro or anything like other people on this board lol just my suggestions. good stuff though! im learning from this as well as you thanks for posting

oh yeah and make sure his wheels was straight, and the windows rolled up. i do the same shyt and it gets caught in someones eye when I post.

Werd. I believe I have a closer shot with the same angle as the first picture. Most of the pictures I liked probably ended up being taken with the car's shadow. Reason being that the car has paint swirls and the typical Milano Red paint fade. Both show up real well in the light since the car hasn't been cleaned really well in a while.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a few more to post up once I get the chance to.

Well, like cory said, the first shot would have been better if you were closer. Theres a lot of red too, I would have picked a white background so itll stand out better rather than blend in. The second one would have been better if the surroundings around the road were different, not a neighborhood.

As for time of shoot, try to shoot around sunset, you aviod blowing out the sky and the colors pop out more when the sun is pointing at the sides of the car rather than beaming down on top of it. Also the shadows arent as harsh around sunset time. Ill talk to ya more about it tonight if youre gonna be around.

Its not that the first pic is about the background but the back ground is too busy. There isn't much to do about this unless you have a SLR. if you had a SLR, you could blur the background.
