    i think something in the foreground looks great in landscape shots but maybe that shot would look better without :)

    That's not bad - I think you were possibly a little bit low down and it may look a bit better if you could see the top of the strands of grass. A bit of sunshine wouldn't go a miss either, but there's nowt you can do about that!

    top picture poke!
    :clap:

    cant really fault that :)

    i would like to see it with flash.....but there is a chance it might show to much under the car. the flash is great for making wheels look bling too :)

    a plain / simple background like the sky in that shot for instance always seems to look good :thumbup:

    Awesome!!!

    I don't think it needs the flash RECARDO. As you say it would light up too much under the car. It looks better dark...

    Some additional lighting on the side of the car might work, but you can do that in photoshop!

    Nice one!

    well most of these pictures are all old. yeah for some reason the d1x makes it look very black.

    few of the above are d70/d2h.

    but im always trying to bring the colour out now tho :)

    This Book is a good read. It has a load of pics to study, and it details how some of the pictures were taken. I bought it for my brother for his birthday as he is a photographer in the Navy. I want him to take some decent pics of my car when he is back home! :lol:

    Apart from the pic quality, whats the thoughts on this:?

    Edit: Took the pic with a cr@ppy phone cam, because I thought the car looked preety tough parked as it was, was just luck that I managed to capture the rest of street into the pic, to focus the picture mostly on the front end and the polished rims. :)

    nice one riley....way better.

    you wont notice much of a difference with shutter speeds on still objects in the day light.

    save the slow shutter speeds for the night time.....then you will really! see the difference

    but very nice pictures indeed..(apart from the pilon coming out the roof on the last one) ;)
