Finally got an opportunity to shoot some photos with my Dad's Canon. Bout' time. I'll have some more tomorrow and my wheels won't be dusty. :facepalm

Bear with me, I'm no photographer. I love constructive criticism though.

She could use a polish.

Just noticed that my right splitter isn't seated as high as the other one. :foottap

Love the car, dude. Blue calipers look nice, too! Subtle touch.

Thanks, man. I still wish they were a bit darker though. Am I gonna see you at EuroSunday tomorrow?

Honestly, I don't know. Probably not. My feet are killing me after work and working out this week and I still have to be back at church in West Sacramento at 11am, and that's 30 minutes away from EuroSunday. Plus, I drive a 7.3L Excursion. It'd cost me like $20 just to drive there. :rofl Maybe I'll borrow my sister's BMW.

If anything changes, I'll text you.

car looks good. i think the left splitter should go down rather than raising the right up. also i'm not a big fan of HDR in some of the shots

Hmm. I'll mess around with them to see what looks right. Thanks for the input!

I would actually love to go lower... maybe after I switch to 245s or increase the neg camber a tad.

Epic shots and epic car man! Only one suggestion (and take it with a grain of salt because I'm looking at these on my iPhone) - I can tell that a couple have been really edited and they came out sweet, the colors really pop on the car... but they also really pop on the buildings behind the car and some of the detail is blown out. What program do you use for post?

I see what you're saying. I feel like I really messed up the temperatures on some of these, especially the first two.
I've just been using iphoto.

The first one seems a little cool and rest maybe a tad warm? Perhaps a slightly cooler temperature (but warmer still than the first) mixed with small contrast bump and even a really light filter would yield similar results in which the blues of the car wouldn't clash with the oranges of the backgrounds. With a program like iPhoto though it is hard to separate aspects of a photo. If you make an edit, it changes the whole picture - that is unless you want to get your hands dirty in photoshop. Another thing that makes a big difference in a photo is the background. If you wanted to edit in a similar fashion, a plainer background (like a field or something with an interesting but simple horizon) might not be so affected by the color temps and adjustments. I think, that could also get you some amazing and unique results! So much of editing depends on so many aspects though, each photo would be a specific case. Anyways that's just my 2c, sorry to drone on and on about it. :)

Thanks for taking the time to go on and on haha. That's the constructive criticism I was looking for! :)
