had the opp to take a few shots of a buddy's 05 gt and spiced them up a bit. i'd appreciate some constructive criticism as i'd like to improve, thanks.

btw, camera's a Rebel xti, and i used photoshop cs2.

I know nothing when it comes to photography (SP?) but I tell you that they look SICK! (Im not much of a fan of the latest Mustangs)

Specially the last 2 photos are really sick!

Contrasts! Great Job!

Nice pics Paul!

I'm kinda new to photography also, I have an XT and when I try to spruce up the pics on photshop they turn out pretty bad, lol. I dunno, I just mess with the color balance, always does the trick.

thanks, gents.

Christian: thanks, man. one of the first instances that got me interested in a Rebel dslr was the two comparison pics you posted of your dining room table, heh.

haha sweet! You'll love photography man, it's a real fun hobby. Also when your relatives see the pics you've taken, they'll hire you for events and you can make some extra cash. These cameras have a limited life, don't feel like a jerk when you charge people for pictures, haha.

hehe, yeah, photography is awesome--i got into it after looking at my good buddy Nino's work (he posts on here under NinoAvila). i took black & white photography this semester to get the jist of what it's about--didn't really learn much about actually taking the pics, but more of how to develop the film, print them, and what not. we didn't really talk much about composition and that sort of stuff, which is what i was really after. i wanted to take the digital course as another elective, but i graduate this summer, so i ain't giving them any more of my money! hehe.

but yeah, getting good enough to make a little money on the side is a bonus. i'm really just tired of taking crappy pics and am definately interested in upping my photoshop skills, so any tips are welcome, gentlemen!

I went to get an XTI the other day and came home with a 30D and the EF 28-135 IS lens. I love it so far and when I use auto enhance and try to spruce them up they look the same. I am wanting to try taking the pics in the raw format and enhancing.
