Where to start??

I'm looking to get into photography. i really want to be good at what i do but not really sure how to get there. I really like auto photography. cars. race cars on a track or parking lot whatever looks good. any tips or advice.

All this: canon 30d, canon 1d mkIII, 50mm 1.8, 18-55mm, canon 1.4 extender, sigma sa-9, 70-300 5.6, 28-80m and you're not into photography yet!

Do you mean you want to become professional?

Well just keep shooting, get your name out there, learn how to edit properly and just walk around handing pamphlets/buisness cards out to people..

But please.. For the sake of all other "Pros", Learn everything about your camera's first and learn how to shoot properly.. I've been shooting for over 2 years and still consider my self a noob :P

There's just alot to learn in photography and most pro's have been doing it for 10 - 20 - 30 years..

All I can say is.. Practice.. you wont get good if your sitting at home typing threads like this!

Use all that equipment you have!

Get out and take more photos. Don't spend too much time online. Take an on-ground photography class at your local college. Get out and take more photos.

meet local guys?

Youtube video to learn some more.

And the most important get out and use that good gear you have!! I would suggest in a 70-200 of some flavor.
