Why does everyone go to a train yard for car photos?? I don't get it.

Pics are decent. Might have liked to see a little lower angles taken.

What is going on with the passenger rear door? Bad paint work? Dirt? Something else?

I would've shot the car driving past the building in #2 (with the "slow" sign) with a slow shutter, like 1/8, because I imagine there isn't much space in that location for a car to go speeding around in, so if the car was moving about 15-20 mph, I think that shutter would be good enough for motion blur.

<shrug>

If you're taking car snaps, why is the train so prominent?

:er:

I'm sorry, but I don't like these....

I feel like the train and the car are competing for your attention and I ... well I don't really know, I'm just not feeling them.

perhaps something like this to bring the car out more in the photos?

Hope you don't mind the quick blur...

Hope you dont mind me playin with your pic too, but I just had to fix that door. Photo editing cars is my thing, I've only just started in photography.
I also added an overlay set at 20% to define the pic a bit more, and darkened the right lower side corner of the pic to emphisise the lighting a bit more. How much editing is exeptable on our pics?

I'm so curious... what did your 7 yr old do to the car?

All I can think of is the commercial where the son is trying to "help" his dad and washes the car with a piece of steel wool or something like that. :lol:
