The Claw!!!!! hehehe

The last one's my favourite. It's very comical.
Good control of depth of field in all of them.

But I would play around with the levels a bit more to make that background whiter. That is, if you're going for that product shot look.

Yea that is one thing I need to learn. I just got the camera two days ago so I am practicing with my arpeture and shutter speed and learning to shoot in manual.

At the same time I am trying to learn how to do some PP and make it look more appealing. It is a lot to learn!

Thanks for the compliments.

Number 3 is my favorite great job on depth of field. Just needs to be brighter.

 

[HyperSniper]

Yeah, use levels on all of these. They're a bit dark.

 

[calledthestig]

Any good tutorials or suggestions on changing levels? Or just increase them until I see it get brighter?

The Stig is multitalented. Cars and photography.

I wish I drove half the cars he did, even just once.
Must be such a fun job.

And thank you for the compliment

for levels on these you'd want your midtones and light tones high and the dark tones low (default for dark).

So I am going to change these on that tonal curve?

Awesome -- thanks for the suggestion!

you change them on the levels window that comes up when you press command-L. just play with the little arrows below the levels map until you get a nice result
