Get Adobe Lightroom. It's a lot faster in editing photos than PS, but then again in PS you have much more options.

You can use a flash to fill them in a bit too.

I have it set on RAW now, im going to go and take some more shots!


Lol, I went and took some more shots and My GFs comp does not read RAW files so ill have to take it home to my place where i have photoshop.

There are tons of free RAW editing software out there. I use one called rawtherapee, and I have used several others. I like that one the best. In fact, I put it on my girlfriend's computer so that I could edit raw files when I'm over there

One suggestion...get down low to the subjects you are shooting. Go to their level. Like cars, babies, plants ..etc...get down on one knee and take the picture.

agreed. This mantra is something that makes me LOVE live view on the 50d. I don't have to lay down on the ground to get super low shots anymore. or super high ones either... I'll post some today. I was using live view all night last night to photograph an event we had at work.

Ok, ill try it.

Good perspective, but watch your background. The vette and the house are kind of distracting. Same goes for the lighting. Obviously it is in the shadows, but the sun is shinning quite brightly. The eye almost instantly jumps to the brighter areas of the picture and not the intended subject. Use the sun to your advantage and not a distraction.

To add to that, check your focus point too. I like the idea, but I think if you stepped back and used a longer lens, it might work better. In terms of the focus, the camera is focused on your rear wheel, but I'm thinking the intended focus was the front wheel??

Yeah im working on just getting good results. I literally rolled the car out of the garage and turned the wheels and started taking some pics. I was in a rush and the car was dirty so i just was showing my little bro my camera before i had to run.

I only have one lense that came with the camera. the center point was in the middle of the front wheel.
