Any tips?? (Sorry for the slight thread jack James).
I have iPhoto 2009 and I still haven't found time to learn to use it. LOL. I think it does have good capability for amateur photo needs like ours. I had a high school kid do a family photo and doctored it up with iphoto and it was excellent, not quite WOW though (ok, the joke may be getting old).

Tyler, gorgeous photos. I really like the hint of light oak that remains from your original interior. It looks good with your new interior and prevents eye overload plus you don't see many like that. Nice!

James,

Your photo skills are improving but you need that girl back in the photo if you really want them to be good

It looks good if you want pictures to inaccurately represent what your car looks like. Photo editing tools are there to balance color, create fill light...enhance the photo, in order to make it accurate to the way your eye views the car. Just pumping up sliders and saturation and contrast...making it look like a different car than the one you own...why not just post a Lambo and say thats yours instead?

Cant even see the car...lol.

Take two pics...one exposing the scene, then manually order to camera to overexpose for conditions...which will in turn expose the car. Then do an hdr setup via ps or app and ta da...all done.
