Hey guys, I started photography about 2-3weeks ago and this is my first attempt of taking pictures of cars. Let me know what ya'll think and how I can improve them! Thanks. (btw I tried that one bulb manual exposure shot to get the lights trailing but it kept coming out too bright, how am I suppose to fix that?).

In the "Share" areas IMAGE POSTING RULES only allow 8 embedded images by the OP per thread, so I had to remove the image tags from the extra shots. Links to them are OK, though.
Some exceptions are "Show Me...", "Post your best...", etc.

Personally, I don't care for most garage shots, especially when they're orange & you live where you can take them outside. Seen this?

The WB is off by a lot. The shots don't give very flattering angles to the car; a 3/4 frontal shot would be nice instead of head-on. check out this thread:

i dunno some of them have potential, besides how boring would automotive photography get is there were only 3/4 frontal shots. 6 is very nice due to it's centered aspect in my opinion, nothing wrong with a little bit of difference in a shot here or there. but you should have closed your sunroof.

6 would be better if it was truly centered then, if that's the look you're after- centered.

Here's my edited version of #6 I did white balance, levels and straightened the horizon. Sorry about the white lines on the side, my crop tool sucks.
