me and harris did a photoshoot the other day.. figured i would put it up here and see what yall thought of it..

btw... calyp50 did all the photos.


here is a pic of what i want my car to look like:


here are the photoshoot pics of mine and both ours

thanks!

I think they are overall very good.  I think the backgrounds of #5 and #9 are a bit too saturated and take away from the cars a bit, maybe if you toned the trees down a bit, but thats just me.   I especially like the loading dock location you chose and the lighting is very good for those shots. 

 I am actually trying to get started in photography myself, I just haven't gotten to shoot my car with my new camera yet, thats why all my pics look like crap.   

I think you are quite a good photographer already, but if you are serious about getting critiqued by photography pros and not just a noobie like me, let me know, I can point you in the direction of a great photography forum that I use.  I seriously think you could make some money with your photography skills, if you haven't already.

btw, what camera do you use?

Thank you Jeff!
and yea i played around with them on photoshop cs5 just experimenting haha
but, my settings were a little off for the light i was shooting in so they're a bit grainy and noisy and unfortunately you dont really see that until its all said and done haha

but my cousin just got a degree in photography from Randolph in Greensboro so he gives me tips and pointers 
The camera i use is a Canon Rebel Xsi Digital SLR with a basic lens, and as i mentioned i have the photoshop cs5 suite for editing

Amazing pictures!!! I really like the one of the rolling burnout that one is very cool!!

Thank you Jeff!

Very nice.  I went cheap and got a little Canon SX20 IS, and I have PS cs5 to play around with as well.  Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing!

haha yea i love photoshop, and no prob jeff!!!
and yea shawna we live far from the city
this is a loading dock behind the old abandoned walmart lol
there are urban spots in tha country just gotta do a little searching 

I wish I had photo shop on my computer...would be awesome

nice shots...it I lived in the city I could take some nice shots but all we got here are corn fields

Theres also a great little freeware program I use called Paint.net.  Its completely free, is basically a very watered down version of PS, but its got all the basics, and its better than some programs you have to pay for. 

And theres nothing wrong with a flat, wide open road for a photo location.  Also a great place to get some dramatic clouds or a sunset in the background.  I wish I had more of that around here, too many hills and trees in the way.
