I think I'm going to have to accept that I suck at photography/editing.

 

looks pretty good man. the time of the day and lighting would really help you. you are taking pictures of a somewhat darker car in the shadows and contrasting them with direct sunlight, which makes it even harder to see the details

 

The car is OOF... a lot of them are, actually.

Apart from that, I'd go with what Machinehead115 just said.

Black rims in the shadows = can't see the details at all. Then when you want to compensate, the exposure might be hard due to the fact that you don't want to white out part of your pics.

 

Photos look good to me and same goes for the car.

 

thanks guys and yeah,i really had a hard time focusing for some reason

 

Were you using manual or auto focus?

What camera, lens, and if any, flash?

 

both

350D, 18-55 kit lens, no flash

 

pictures look good. but fail to capture wheels

 

How did you set up your AF map? Usually it would be able to spot what is close, and what is distant. Too bad you don't live anywhere around me, otherwise I could help you out.

 

^ i know man, learning this thing on my own is hard without someone telling me if i'm doing it wrong.

As far as the AF map goes, i have no clue even how to set such a thing....

 

Well if you have the time, take a look at my Flickr, and tell me which pictures you like. Most of the time I can tell you what I did / how I took the shot.

Otherwise, try looking for tips & tricks on websites. Even experiment with stuff in your room. If you ever need a good lens for profile pictures (of people, for example) get the 50mm f/1.8 EF-S. It's a VERY good prime lens, and I have been taking very good shots of models (along with my 580EXII flash).

Let me know if you need anything else. I'm on and off HT, as I am at work right now.

 

 

i think it needs a cf hood

 

I think you need more varitety in your photograhy...

Where are the interior and bay shots?

 

Is that the "nifty fifty"? I've been thinking about getting it, would that lens have a good bokeh?

 

lol im thnkin about it man!

 

you dont wanna see those lol
here's one of the bay

 

thanks for all the comments guys!

 

Yes sir. It has very good bokeh, sharp colors, and good lighting.

 

if you took the 3rd one down and cropped it to where the wooden pole isnt there, it would make a good desktop

 

I'm going to look into it, any place i should look for to get it used?

 

I like your boring car

 

i like boring cars

 

nice em1 but pics r a lil too far..i like when the car gets more attention than the backround

 

i like it. i love ebp em1s. yet, the pics are eh, but all it takes is practice
