Default Bored so went out and took a few pics.

I decided I didn't feel like going homework all day when it was so nice outside. I messed with the contrast on other settings on a few of the pictures. I also finally put on the ws6 wheels I bought a while back. Goodbye weak *** 245 tires that were on the rear. And yes I know the car looks like a monster truck, working on the funds to get it lowered.

Its your best one of the whole set. Next time do not try to center the car so much in the pic. Check about the rule of thirds in photography. In that pic there is too much asphalt, too much mountains and sky but a just a little car! Its a nice pic nevertheless. Would you let me crop that pic a bit to show you what I mean?

Thanks yeah the car car came with this exhaust setup and I just haven't had the time or cash to finish it. Hopefully this summer I can get it cleaned up.

Here. I cropped the picture to do justice for your nice car. I also played a bit with curves and some minimal sharpening. I added some tire dressing to your back tire and cloned out the street sign in the background. I did this fast just to give you an example:



Light was a bit harsh. What time was when you took the pics? Best time its after 4PM to 6PM. Less strong shadows. better light.

That looks pretty good. I was out at 5pm taking these which is like noon here. But it was very bright as you can see. Next time I plan on taking a tripod out and messing with the camera settings. When I took these I just left everything in auto so I could be quick.

Nice camera. Keep shooting! This is a nice forum for photography although is biased towards Canon equipment:
