You could probably shop out the elbow thing of the door along with the exit sign.

Dysan--you have lighting and color nailed. Feel free to jump in and give any advice also.

I wish I could but I just work on the photo until it looks right to me...I still have issues with composition and need to practice on that.

Adobe Lightroom with RAW photos is seriously your friend in today's photography world.

We all think we are photographers... lol

Some of my better ones.

Yep, probably.

Honestly, I have no idea what I am doing here. I am getting lucky.

put some bullet holes and broken windows in the background. Add some graffiti. Make us believe its Detroit.

 

[Captainstr8edge]

yeah! put Robocop in it!!

 

[TenSpeed]

[TenSpeed]

I had the following link bookmarked for a while now. Might not be very advanced but there are 25 links to click and learn from. I figure it might be useful here.

I tried Flickr and then it went inactive after not much use.

Mine will get used. I take way too many pictures. Especially now, now that my motor is being rebuilt and I am changing the combo, so I won't actually be driving until August/September.

Not a Mustang, but another shot I had that I cleaned up.

Another one of my favs I've taken.

My buddy's Evo at a car show last year.

I would love to see your car in person one day. I think it's one of the best Saleen's I've seen.

Thanks! That is really flattering considering how awesome that Shelby is. I will be at Carlisle this year; and I am also making my first trip to Mustang Week in Myrtle Beach. Will you be at any of those?

 

[sidvicious]

Like this. Notice how you can clearly see the rotor now, as well as some of your interior you couldn't see before.

AFTER:

Very minor changes I know. Also, for those of you shooting with DSLRs, always shoot in RAW. The editing with a RAW file vs a JPEG is 10X better.

Thanks for the great advice. I shot this with a Canon point and shoot. Can you recommend a decent budget DSLR and a good multipurpose lens?

When I started researching cameras, I was surprised that the Canon/Nikon rivalry is like Ford/Chevy.

It just really depends on how you will use the camera. What do you see using the camera mostly for? Depending on that answer will determine what camera I will tell you to consider.

I'm looking for just a good all-around camera. I will use it for everything including holidays, family get togethers, vacations, in addition to shooting my Mustang. Again, I am looking for something that is budget friendly. Thanks.
