My New (to me) 2001 Mustang

Here are some mildly processed photos of my new 2001 Mustang.
Tell me what you guys think, any advice is good advice too.

All photos are handheld at iso800.
We havnt had any good days since I bought her so this is what I have had to work with.

Canon EOS 1D Mark III
EF 24-105mm F4 IS L

1.) Single exposure HDR using Photomatix Pro.

You're lucky it's a silver car. #1 is OK, but you have a halo around the front. #2 & 3 need more contrast/brightness. The silver looks a dull gray & not nearly as good as in #1.

i like em! i think your horizon is off on the 1st one and the halo is a bit strong. Congrats on your new ride

Ya, I was going for that strong HDR look.
I could always fix the tilt in post.

As for needing to be brighter with more contrast, I will try it and see what it comes out to but I edited these pictures to be darker and a little less colorful.

We learn by experimenting. The results aren't always pleasing. One guy ran 605 experiments before he got what he needed.

As for being lucky that it is a silver car, yes!
I love Silver on Mustangs, not to mention that body lines really seem to pop on this color and make photos more interesting.

I figured I would update this with a couple more pics.
Here are some frosty pics of my car.

The car is going to go through a lot this year as I modify it for AutoCross and Open Track.
Amsoil and Osiris Shoes are my current sponsors and I hope to earn more as the year goes on.

One more, but this one isnt very good but at least you get to see my new 03/04 Cobra hood.
Of course the theme is Black and Silver.

Some updates for track goodies for the car.

Not really artistic, but beautiful non the less.
(The last photo of our long sold Honda makes up for not being artistic.)
