As above really. I have no qualifications in photography, and have a cheapo digital camera which I use from time to time as a hobby mainly to take pics of my car when I am bored

I enjoy taking the photos etc, but not sure quite how good I am taking the pictures!

I have recently been thinking about the possibility of car photography (or something) but guess that I will probably have to start from the beginning really (college course etc?) I also know its not an easy job as many people think!

Few examples of pics that I think arent too bad?!













Any advice and constructive criticism etc would be helpful

You need to get to grips with photoshop or something similar, post editing makes a big difference when taking pics with a basic camera.

What would I need to edit more? Colouring or something? I do have Photoshop, but rarely use it to actually edit Pics (apart from resizing and a bit of cropping )

For example, use the auto levels tool and see what a difference that makes! Once you've got to grips with the different manipulation functions you can totally change the appearance of your photos! Try adding black borders to!

Search 'Snap day' for a quick guide to doing it!

You need a "good" camera if your going to make a carear out of it. No doubt vibs will give you some advice but he only goes it for a sideline and spends thousands and thousands of pounds on equipment.
