Practicing my photography. Warning, lots o pics!

[Nvrenuf]

So over a year ago, I got my wife a fancy dancy camera. I have always thought it would be fun to know a lil about photography. Also, I have not been able to get the car out for months. This weekend we finally had some nice weather. It's the first time I could get my baby out since Feslers hood hinges were put on. To say the hinges are nice is understatement. Not only do they look amazing, but they are so smooth and have totally changed the operation of opening/closing the hood!
So I forced myself to learn the camera, and even worse, sat for hours playin with photoshop (man, what a complex program!) Here are the results of my past few months makin changes to Sikness, and finally playing with the camera.

Nice work with the camera, and your car looks awesome. :thumbsup:

Looks nice! Perhaps just a little later in the day would help? I don't know...I just know how hard it is to get that killer shot in full day light! :thumbsup:

Ummm, I think you mean "fancy shmancy".

The pictures look great, Jason! You should definitely send them into the magazines. PHR even has a reader's rides photo contest that you would clean up on!

[XcYZ]

Jason, I have a suggestion... take more pics and post them up! :D

They look great, so does the car. :thumbsup:

Great pix!

Look great! I've yet to figure out the whole Photoshop thing.... argh! :willy:

A couple of those pics are a touch over exposed, try darkening them a tad and I think they'll be even better!

I just got some GREAT advice from another member here and have edited a couple of the pics in photoshop, removing a tree from above the car, etc. It is quite addictive. It is definitely my new hobby:D

[Red Rocker]

Nice work. Good crisp horizon line on some of them. Watch the reflections from objects in the distance-trees etc. It looks damn good though and I photograph cars for a living. Where do you live as I dig your car and would love to put it in my magazine-Muscle Car Power.

[Nvrenuf]

Thanks for the compliments, and even more for the pointers. Reflections are tough! Im in New Mexico. Just read your other thread about your mag. Im interested to see it.
