- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
First off, I'm fairly new here. Only posted a few times, just been doing a lot of reading.
Does anyone know any good articles/tutorials on photographing cars. I have a lot of friends that have taken photography classes, and have been doing it for a long time. I try to go to them for C&C about my pictures, and it seems like that what I think looks good, is actually bad. (If that makes sense)
So I guess I'm looking for some tips on composition.
I understand the "mechanics" of the camera for the picture, just lacking in composition it seems.
Also suggestions on a basic editing program would be good.
I don't need anything crazy to add objects or completely change a picture. I really just don't have ANYTHING right now.
Here are a few of my shots that I think are pretty good....Let me know what you think. Again, I don't have any sort of editing program so they're all untouched.

This one needs cropped for sure, maybe zoomed out a little bit to get the entire hood.

On this one...the shot really turned out bad because the sun went down FAST and I didn't have time to setup. I shot a few pictures just to see how the spot would look. Whats everyone think?
