Nice work, you would never have guessed they were your first try if you had not said so!
thank you! i have been lurking in the "DIY rigs" thread for quite a while, learning as much as possible about it before i could afford the rig and a camera/lens wide enough to utilize it.

it depends on the background. the mustang was incredibly easy since the background is so even, but textured, in-focus backgrounds is where it gets interesting. i will NEVER shoot against a brick wall again like I did with the 350Z. that was my first shoot after my truck test-shot and was an absolute pain. getting the flares right on the civic shot was also difficult.

haha thank you, but i didnt crop any of these, in fact, I pulled out and added more background in photoshop in a couple. my widest lens is a 28-135, and my boom is only so long. I'm trying to save up for a 17-40L though. as for the white balance, if you are referring to the one with the orange civic, i chose a poor location. the car was lit by cool white light with bright orange high-pressure sodium lights in the background, not a good combination. I also REALLY need to calibrate my monitor, the colors are a little bit off.
