your pics came out as red x's

 

A lot can be done post production as well. Photoshop is the new darkroom. Colors can be brought out very easy and you can get the exact look you are going for w/ photoshop.

I would say shoot at interesting locations.. make sure you know what kind of picture you are going for before you snap. Want BG to be in focus or not? Do you wnat the picture to be bright or dark? Know all of this before you shoot. There are also some tricks you need to know about locking exposure but that differs from camera to camera. A lot of people have problems with blown out highlights and blown out skies. Look on some digital photo boards for more help specific to your camera about this.

Most importantly be creative and don't take bland pictures. Don't always center your subject. Picture the photo in your mind and use your camera to make it happen.. don't just snap away. You can view some of my photos at http://www.gnvmotorsports.com/photo/ if you wish--I somewhat know what I'm talking about

Also, the guy who said don't shoot during high sun is very very correct. You can get away with it sometimes but it is not advised. Just before sunset is the best time, honestly.

Look at this picture, and notice the shadows.. suck. They are flat, crisp, short, and directly under the object. If I took the same photo a few hours later, the contrast of everything and the shadows would make the picture much more appealing:

Ok Chiquita, so far, so good. Your photos are nice and sharp and color balance is good. You do take a lot of photos from a standing position, though. I encourage you to get low. Drop down on a knee to take a photo, or better yet, get down on your stomach and shoot. These odd positions make for dramatic angles that pleas the eye because we are seeing a car in ways we are not used to seeing it. It adds interest to the photo. Also, try to shoot some shots right around dusk when the shadows are long.

You're off to a good start.

You have to upload the pictures somewhere. Cardomain, imageshack, pbucket, and some other places can host the images for you.

i don't know why they keep going to red x, but you seemed to learn the concept of taking the pictures pretty well.

don't take advice from me on how to take a picture. i don't know how to. i just know what i saw in your pics was pretty good. a little better lighting would be nice.

 

i did!
