new member; first pics

so i got bored at work today...remembered i had my camera in the car and decided to take some pics of my new (to me) mcs

what do you guys think? unmodded, but will probably end up with some driving lights and some new wheels and that's probably about it.

The car is nice. Just as nice are the pics.
The exposures look dead-on.
I'd watch the background though, that yellow pillar is kind of out of place in the third image.

What camera and lens are you using?

Quite nice. I like #1 the best, followed by #6 (the yellow post bothers me a bit less than it does in #3). The reflections in #2, #3, and #4 are a problem.

Good work! Hope you post more.

thanks for the kind words all. i'm using a canon 300d (digital rebel) w/ 28-135mm IS EF-S lens

i was playing around with the levels of the pics still some tweaking needed but they turned out decent.

I'm guessing this is not your first time picking up a camera! Nice shots. I agree w/Blackanblue about the surroundings but the color and lighting is excellent! Nice stuff, can't wait to see more

nah, not the first time...maybe the 2nd

got a long ways to go, but it's only a hobby...maybe one day i'll be as good as you and DiD

our dock at the office doesn't make a great backdrop but it sufficed as i hadn't taken pics of the mini since i got her and i was bored at work and happened to have my camera in the car

As I'm looking back at some of these, I'm thinking that a circular polarizing filter might be the ticket to removing some of the reflections; they're a little bit distracting in a couple of spots, but do serve to show off your nice wax job. ;-)

I like them alot also, I would just take it easy on the sharpen tool in photoshop (or whatever program you use to edit) Especially in the 2nd pic, the edges are too jaggy.

Very nice work otherwise.
