pics look at lot better than the last ones... the red looks kinda funky but i think its just because of the yellowish lighting.
nice work tho

thanks guys... yea lighting isn't the best but I was mainly concentrating on glassy pics not grainy...Oh and they weren't touched otherthan re-size at all in Photoshop, no contrast, levels, no selective color, no color balance, nothing. oh and I think these are without a white balance (tungsten mmmm) filter on the camera...

I know that most ppl wont agree with me on this but...i think GS-R blades look fugly, and only belong on a DC2 integra. this is only my opinion and take no offense please. I think the same goes for Civic Si wheels. They only look good on 96+ civics.

they dont look "grainy" at all to me....but the color is way off.....need to work on that white balance.....some of that can be fixed in PS but its best to learn your white balance settings on your camera so you dont have to mess with it in PS

IM me later and I will see if i can help you out some more

The only parts of the photos that seem grainy are the dark areas...specifically the sky. Not sure why that is, because you said you used ISO 50 when you took those. Keep trying, but use that f-stop I was telling you about.

Parking garage pics...*cough cough*

Not that you're doing it wrong, I think there's just a better way to do it.
