Welcome! Sorry for the late welcoming!
Though it looks like you already had a good sense of composition and the use of settings. There’s some quality and originality in your photos I see. Keep it going!
Beautiful shots! I love the fifth one.
Great job with the Merc, and I also love the Stradale.
That first RX7 shot is great. I really like shots that captire those sun flares.
That smoothness! Always that crisp.
Loving the 3rd shot of the Cuda.
Loving those Diablo shots! That first shot in particular is amazing.
Also, congrats on the photo comp win!
That last shot of the Diablo is breathtaking!!

Hey Man,
Your pictures are absolutely stunning. Can you give any tips on how to take such amazing pictures? Like editing tips and stuff? I want to start my own gallery and I want to put amazing pictures in there, with quality that is similar to yours. All help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the kind words!
Lots of what separates a good picture from a great picture is composition. Keep an eye on the environment around your car; the lighting, things in the background, the general setting in relation to your car (does the area fit with the car) etc. It’s all very important. I also try to shoot so there is NEVER poles or anything in the background “sticking out” of the roof of the car. Unless it’s heavily blurred out, I find it very distracting.
I adjust the photo settings for each individual photo I shoot. One main thing I do on my personal settings: I never put the shutter speed higher than 35 as the car starts to actually blur a bit too and I like the car nice and sharp.
As far as editing: I use Photoshop CS6…I use clone stamp and spot removal tools to get rid of the logo. Other than that I just do general photo filters to add the “warm tones” and some curves/levels/contrast adjustments. Nothing major by any stretch.
I hope this helped somewhat. Message me if you want more specific info. Just keep taking photos and figure out what you like the look of. If you want them to look similar to my shots, try to take them at sunrise/sunset and shoot looking into the sun.
