7-11-2007 Pics [56k, go get a free slurpee] did another photoshoot...I've always believed a great picture can make an average car extremely sexy, so I focused on taking a good picture as opposed to spending a ton of cash on appearance mods. The camera used was a Sony Cybershot DSC-H2 6MP Digital Camera...no photoshop touch-ups were made.
Appearance mods: Badge overlays, GS stripes, headlamp overlays, rear inserts, hose mod, red calipers, 13" antenna

I agree about the pictures, but do you have photoshop or any post processing software? If so I'd go over all these pictures and adjust the white balance if possible because they've all got a blueish tint to them and my guess is you used auto or daylight white balance when a cloudy or shade setting would have been more appropriate given the overcast sky. Just a little constructive criticism from a fellow photography enthusiast. Good composition and all the pictures are sharp for no post processing.

I tried to remember as much from your sticky about taking pics as I could, but I was scrambling to beat the sun (these were shot from 6am-7am) before it got too high in the sky. I don't have any post-processing software on my computer, so I just tried to get them as naturally good as i could before the sun came too far up. I'll keep all that in mind next time I do a shoot.

Its definitely worth a download just to do level, curve, and sharpening adjustments as those minor things will really enhance a picture.

Nice pictures again there man, I agree with josh trying messing with the white balence to fit the condition you are in. Best is to just go out and mess with all you settings see what works best for you.
