Now thats what you call LOW. I like the shots, the second shot and the fifth shot are to dark to see detail from the car. Besides that, great job.

Yes, but the light on it is nice.
#1 & 2 have too many bad reflections & few good ones. Try this next time & it will look great:

Overall, these are good shots:

1. should squat down a little, the jetta's stance would look even more agressive, especially from that angle.
2. the subject looks perfect, right down to the reflection -- just the wall seems too bland (the sign comes out too "forced")
3. like said earlier, the WB is off a tad -- maybe bump up the saturation a tad
4. Slow down the shutter and drive slower. You can achieve that same blur if you're riding at like 5-10mph... just need a steady hand. (was this on route 8?)
5. this has more blur than #4, nice portrait framing
6. not bad, might have to crop out some of the pavement on the bottom of the pic
7. money!!!

I hope this helps, I think these are good natural light shots -- and slammed VW's are always nice on the eyes. ;)

2 posts in 1 thread, and still nothing constructive. I'll take car shots over bird shots any day -- I think you may have wandered into the wrong forum:lol:

So what you're saying is I'm less of a man because I shot birds ONCE although most of my shots have been of autos.

Easy now guys.

Anyways, I've always loved the look of a nicely modded V-Dub. I agree with what JustinL has said, plus, a little more 'brighter' images would be good.

#7 is by far the best but, the rest could all be great with some tweaking and adjustments.
