    getting there mate!

    #1 the car is the centerpoint of the pic mate you need more scenery/background around the car, i know brisbane has some good photo spots get out there and find/abuse them Click here to enlarge

    #2 under exposed on your car you want it the other way around try using some artifical light to make car brighter a little (not the flash)

    #3 desaturated images work great in a enviroment that isnt exactly exciting Click here to enlarge this one is a good shot

    #4 Same as above but yeh boring scenery around the car works better desaturated

    #5 cool outline of the car you got going but i think you need to do a little longer exposure on this (not much more) and maybe wait till the sun is right down, capture the colours of the sunset, too much sunlight is bad! Click here to enlarge

    #6 The sun really ruined what could have been a good angle shot, next time wait till the sun is out of the window and it should light up the car a little bit more (if u dont want too much detail on the car and just want outline use a quicker shutter speed) by the sun being lower it will outline more of the car not just the roof

    dont take this a rude critism mate cause not trying to be just trying to give ya some pointers Click here to enlarge

    do you have photoshop david?
    there is a couple of tools that are rarely used that give stunning effects.

    using the gradient tool:
    - have a clear (opacity 0) to black fade, then select soft light option. this darkens everthing in the black areas, but does not effect white...
    - same as above except select saturation option. this desaturates everything in the black parts of the gradient.

    then theres Levels, i like this tool, great for black and white photos, still good with colour but tnot as dramatic

    perhaps try dawn, heres one I prepared a while ago... it will give you more time to compose your shot as well, as you can set it up in the dark, then take photos as it gets lighter and then you have varying levels of light to work with

    No, i don't have photoshop. Do you know of any free programs that have the same features though? Seeing as i'm not a full time photographer i can't justify spending that much on a program.
