nice rides..
hmm, it may be a BIT due to my work's LCD calibration, but as a fellow advanced amateur photographer, it seems like the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, n 6th shots are a bit underexposed.. ? I would guess caused by your camera's evaluative metering overcompensating exposure to prevent clipping the overhead lights.. but since your subjects are the cars, you should just adjust exposure higher towards the first shot to bring out as much detail lost in the shadows, especially in the 2nd and 3rd shots of the dark blue G.. anyway, just a suggestion.. great shots!.. i'd be glad to help tweak the shots if you're not all that great with post-processing..
Out of curiosity, what DSLR and wide angle you using?

Thanks Gamedog.
TIMMAY, I forgot to mention... I can easily properly expose these pictures, but I tried something new with #s 2-6. I went for a "darker" mood. *shrug* lol.
You're definitely right, they are underexposed, but that's what I was going for. I think what I tried to do works much better for light colored cars since I lost some detail in G37Rider92649's 37. Thanks for the critique.
I used a Nikon D80 and a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8.

Ah.. yeah, I considered it might be photographer's intent for mood, but just wanted to mention it in case.. hmm, if your car is the white one, I guess you're not as sad you clipped detail in G37Rider's hahaha
thanks for sharing..

The white G35 does not belong to me. It belongs to member "dranom"; I'm not entirely sure if he's on these boards, but he's definitely on G35Driver.

i really like number 1 4 and 5. Although its hard, because you have a dark coloured car and quadbike thing in the photo as well, i think that the darker photos could do with a bit more curves adjustments, otherwise it just looks underexposed. number 6 coulda done with an extra light lighting up the side of the car closest to the camera. but otherwise, awesome stuff

Thanks, guys.
^ O.o I think you may have something with curves... I'll go play with that when I get some time later today and see what happens.
Thanks!
