My ability at artistic car photography
About me im 19, I know theres better out there but ive improved in 2 years from when i started. using a canon point and shoot and a $13 tripod. Dedicated with this, have asked people for advice on tons of forums, and in person. the more feedback i get the better i get and the same with the more pictures i take the better I get.
Woke up early today. Used my new tripod i bought for $13. Some of these im blown away by.
I never went to bed last night, had got 15 hours of sleep friday night so i wasnt tired. Went to walmart at 5am and bought the tripod. Started taking pics at 6:45am. I saved the best for last its unedited, if i touched it, it didnt look good.

I have a Walmart tripod also that I got for $13. Your pics look clearer with the tripod you got from Walmart for $13.

Ever figure out what's eating your taillight in the 3rd to last pic? And I see you stole my idea and put my fave at the end.

those look spectacular! i love early morning shots, the light is so much softer and nicer at sunrise than it is at sunset. a lot of times while I'm driving I wish I had some time to pull over and take pics, maybe one day I will 
I don't think I have any criticisms at all. You got some nice new backgrounds, and you really took my advice on the rule of 1/3's. very, very nice.

I just noticed one thing, go back and retake #6, same spot, same light, but try to get somewhere where that pole isn't "growing" out of your car, preferably so its not in the frame at all, if possible. thats a great building, but the pole is in a bad spot.

Where do you see them for that price? I've seen ~400+
I'm personally looking into the XTi/30D

This isnt your car, your cars got more work done to it i think, you also have a set of drag rims and tires, and your hood doesnt have a ram air hood decal that the previuos owner put on that i still need to take off and buff out.

I like the pics. But with the number of pictures coming from you lately, are you even going to class?
