Hey guys. Today I took some photos of my friend's 2007 WRX. Some of them turned out better than i thought. This is my first real attempt at taking decent photos. Tell me what you think of these.
I would like some suggestions. What did I do wrong? How can I improve my photography? And where should I go for tutorials for HDR? Any other general pointers? Any pointers will be great.

Thanks by the way. I was hanging out of the rear window to take that. I tried to adjust ISO settings to get more of a blur but didnt succeed.

for the blur, try slowing down the shutter speed....i'm not too sure what to slow it down too tho. some of the photo experts can suggest shutter speed for ya.
good looking pics tho. how much post processing did you do?

Thanks for the input. I couldnt get to the shutter speed and i never really tried it. I will the next time. As for the processing, about 5 minutes per picture. I only edited about 20 of them. The rest are raw. The ones I edited are the rich colored ones (brownish ones) and the black and white ones.
I only adjusted Exposure, Highlight/Shadow balance, Brightness and contrast. Didnt get into color balances.
