Hey Guys, I shoot mostly cars and I was wondering if you guys would give me some constructive words on my stuff? I didn't know if this is the right place to post it or not. If not, let me know!

Thanks

I find most of those images to be quite flat. I'd be looking at ways (not just post production, mind) to boost the contrast and to bring out the subject more.

The rolling shots are nice, I would however experiment more with a longer shutter speed to enhance the panning effect. Also on #3, notice the reflection of the SUV, and the hands of the passenger. These can be cloned out in Photoshop, but always easier to watch out for them in the field.

Your static shots are very nicely placed with the correct background. Some cars are placed better in specific areas than others.

Keep them coming!

Not bad...

Maybe post to flickr and load them on here for a better view, they look quite grainy where they're hosted at the moment.

Like the ford pickup, but would like a closer look, maybe fill the frame a bit more...

You have some nice variety there. Next time, try some in late light. There are some links in my Sig, and...

Is the lighting incorrect or too harsh?

Small # aperture + more distance to the background to blur it.

If you're selling the car, you want to see everything. If you want it to be dramatic, late light is one answer. Like this thread: 2011 Chevy Cruze Sedan LS

Or this: http://img.photobucket​.com …ProStreet-Jim_TreeBKG.jpg (external link)
Again, read the "Tips".

Large aperture, nice and close to subject, plenty of room in the background should do it...

Maybe like this?

27mm (43mmish) on a crop body, f4.

If that's what you're looking for...

Also, I should point out there is some post sharpening and blur in this...
