Practice Shots

here are a few shoots from today when Laura and I went out. She is teaching me to try to shoot as good as she does. There is very little photo shopping in these, just white balance and contrast adjustments.

and my ugly mug...




Laura took this one...

they are actually a set of super cheap wanli's 245/40/18's... Times are tough and $ 63 a tire was in my price range for all four. I think that they ride pretty good. they hook a little better that the 235's I had on it.

Thanks for the comments

There pretty good, but still feel like there lacking a wow factor. Def better then 95% of what the normal users post though.

thanks for the feedback, in your opinion, what would bring in the wow factor?

All the pictures seem blurry. Not actually sure what caused this. The lighting is also off. Best time to take car pictures is at dusk or in the morning when the sun lights up the side of the car. Those are just a few things to start with. Also try taking the pictures with different exposure levels. This will also make certain pictures pop.

I think the blurriness is killing the main pictures you have.

the blurryness is from shooting with the 50mm 1.4, I was actually looking to catch a center focal plain and blur the edges a bit. This one doesn't have as much blur.

That's a lot better. Car itself still looks a bit on the dark side.
