Nice Z.

Your pics have a lot of promise, but I think you angled the cars incorrectly. I would have turned them with the light source illuminated them from back to front, not from the sides.

Like the pics... I am a sucker for night shots. For me, the ability to paint with light is a lot of fun.

Look into adjusting your white balance on the Canon, that will true up the colors some, especially when shooting under sodium lights (most common street lamp).

ok does noone see the brakes?
the back rotors look bigger than the front like there switched.

maby im wrong.

night shots kinda give away bad body work though, it seems like in the day those imperfections can be overlooked but at night in different lighting it more obvious.

brakes are 14" wilwoods front and rear. i dont think there's a problem with the body work. the hood looks like a different shade because its directly under the lights. i had it all blended and u can tell where the bumper meets the fenders.

thats for the photo tips. im just a beginner so i appreciate the advice!
