Hi,

I took a few pictures with my 50D the other day, but the pictures didn't turn out any good. I'll post some examples.


Is there any way to get rid of the reflection in the middle of the car? I can see myself taking the picture, also the area by the gas door is really bright...is there any way to eliminate this?

In this picture, the left headlight (from the way we're looking at it), has a really bright light, any way I can eliminate this? Also the the two yellow lights that are turned on are suppose to be really yellow, the yellow in this picture is dull, how can I increase the yellowness without using photoshop?

do you have a polarizing filter? that would help with the glare...as far as getting your reflection out of the shot, all i can suggest is a longer lens and getting far enough away so that you cant be seen...but i guess you could try to photoshop it out

i was at a car show a few weeks ago watching this guy shoot a car...he was probably 35 yards away on his belly...im assuming to keep his reflection out of the of the red car

^ Thanks for the comment! I'll be getting a longer lens soon after I get my tax return :D

Do you know how I could make my lights brighter? They look really dull in the last picture.

This is how bright I would like it to be:
