Great shots, but it seems like the backlighting in some of the shots were making hard to see detail in the subject.

Damn I love that T/A, and that WS6 badge looks great! You always geat really cool angles, but I think you need more/better lighting.
Im sure youve read this article before(I know your car was an PHR)http://popularhotrodding.com/feature...pix/index.html
Id suggest making one of those reflectors.

Nice work!! If you are concerned about light, just use a photoshop like program to lighten it up, adjust the contrast etc. All digital photos need that from time to time when lighting is a problem.

On the very first pic you should have turned the wheels all the way to the left to show off the TT2s

I think you need to adjust your shutter speed/apeture/lighting
this pic

you can see alot of the detail in the white car, while this one

It looks washed out
It really depends on what effect you're looking for, lighting, filters, lenses, and the time of day (early morning is considered the best time) can really make or break a picture.
That's where a good digital comes in handy, you can change the settings take the pic, and adjust the settings if the pic isn't to your liking (I'd suggest bringing a laptop along, if you can, that way you can get a better view of the pic, rather than looking at the 2.5" screen on the camera)

What set up are you using? Is it an slr ? Do you have adjustibility of your apeture? It looks like in almost every pic the apeture setting is about the same. I enjoy making the subject pop out by making it the focal point of the photo. Also some of the contrast between the black ta and the brightly lit white backgrounds are making detail in the black very hard to see. But overall some real nice shots there

Good pics, Photoshop would fix anyproblems you have though. Any picture could look better with some extra help ya know.

using a canon a510, 3.2 mp..In all my shots I have just used the auto setting, but I am starting play with the shutter speed and aperture..amazing how much stuff you can do to improve pics..lotta work, but its fun. hopefuly my next pictures will show some improvement. Thanks for the critiques guys. heplful info.
