Well, I bit the bullet, and went out and spent a big chunk of my money on a new camera setup. I figured I wanted some good practice with it over the winter, so when I finished my car over the spring, then I'd be able to really show it off. So, I went tonight to a mall, and shot a few pics. Keep in mind, these are the first shots I've taken. Constructive criticism is welcomed!

I will also add that the photos have IN NO WAY been modified, other then sizing them down from the 37000x 3400 pixels they where at!

Nice deal, it takes awesome pics. Where were those taken at?
You should have driven your car onto the curb in front of that fountain and take some pics. it would have come out great.

They look good for your first time going out for a shoot. Keep up the good work!

For low light shots like you were taking a tripod will help make your pictures really sharp and not blurry.

turn on steady shot or get a tripod.

it was Katelyn's car. It's at the fountains in MG, and I have a tripod, but she has it for photo class.
The water is supposed to be blurry, as that's what I had the shutter speed set for.

Well the water is blurry but so are the bricks. Tpunx, that's in Maple Grove Arbor Lakes area. That foutain is below road level haha. you have to walk down steps to get to it aka no way to get a car there. Sweet pics overall though swift, but imo photoshop is your friend

The water is supposed to be blurry. Hence shutter speed settings. I'll get the tri-pod back, and then work on taking better ones.

They aren't horribly blurry, I've seen worse but we're just saying they could be better.

What shutter speed did you take these at? Anything slower than 1/60 usually has a bit of blur too it, unless you're super super still.
