Default Checking in.... nOOb post!

I've been a lurker for some time, but I think I'm going to frequent this board more often. A lot of good photos and info here.

I've been doing some entry level work for a while for a lot of my car friends here. Still learning things and getting techniques down. I shoot with a D90. I also launched a website a couple of months ago, most of these pictures are on it. I also have other work that's not automotive related that I will post in another thread eventually. Check me out - www.jkmimages.com

Here's some of my work:

Some nice shots in there. The first GT-R one looks great with excellent lighting on it, nice even reflections, and (with the background desaturated) it pops really well too.

The third Porsche one is fantastic as well. Very clean background, very crisp photo, and even lighting. However, the hood does have a pretty strong reflection on it.

From a constructive criticism, it seems like you sometimes have some very bland, very busy, or very "dead" (dark, dirty, colorless) backgrounds. Some of the city shots have a lot of distractions and some of the rolling shots (first Mustang one) show a really boring, bland background. I'd look for stronger backgrounds if at all possible. Alternatively, slow your shutter speed enough on the rolling shots that you can't tell what the background is (in detail, at least).

^ what he said and also cars crossing yellow lines in the road do not look good in photographs and you have telephone poles growing out of the roof in one of those shots above. They are not numbered you should number them it makes it way easier for us to comment on them.

Thanks for the tips fellas.

Keep in mind, I'm in southeastern Oklahoma. I don't have much to use for better backgrounds.

Also, tell the drivers not to look at the camera!

and I am hugely jealous of those cars, very nice.
