Default tC vs xD and now 94' Celica! *no 56k!*

Don't laugh at my photography...this was my 2nd time I used a tripod and actually paid attention to the shutter speeds and ISO settings




This one could definitely be better now that I look at it again..












Scion Parking




Just for fun-- and I know I know....if the camera had been in the same spot, it would have looked a hell of a lot better....Now I know better hahaha




And this was my first time using the tripod while paying attention to shutter speeds and ISO settings (no Scion, I know I know)





I know I know, my photoshop is not that great....but I'm learning haha

VERY impressive. You've done a very good job at exposure control. Good composition and lighting as well. My fav is number 2 except that your black background doesn't look natural. I know it's photoshopped but if you tweeked the shadows in you cars a bit more (made them darker) especially through the windows, you'd have a definite winner. Another idea might not be to just paint the backdrop black but use the burn tool to just make the real background really dark but still have some detail. Great work overall. You've a great mind for composition.

Thank you thank you You're right, I think it would look better using the burn tool to make the background just realllllly dark, instead of solid black. I was trying to go for the look that some car ads have, where its just all black, and the car...but that is really hard!
