    The second to last pic is my favourite but not technically the best. :)

    Overall the pics seem to dark but it's a quick fix in PhotoShop/Picasa etc. ;)

    True, I found it really challenging trying to take those shots at night. Was talking to Jason and gave me a few tips. Gotta use a tripod for those next time.

    The first is a nice shot, but try not to put the car in the direct center of the frame. Same with the fourth. The second is nice, but you need a lot more light on the side of the car. I like the last two, but try stopping down a little to blow the backgrounds. Also, the last one is a little tilted. Just small things, good stuff for your first try!

    i think the 3rd photo is very good. the other 2 are good but the 3rd is very pleasing to look at photography wise...
    the best thing you can do is keep taking photos and see what works and what doesnt.

    On the new ones--- I think the first would be a solid shot without the sun. For me, its pretty distracting and makes it hard to properly expose the car. The second one looks OOF to me, and a little underexposed. Third one looks good.
