I'm no professional or anything, so this what camera I'm using a Kodak C743 (7.1 mega pixel, 3X optical zoom)

>>(apart from getting a "better" camera what else can help?)

OK when I took these photo's at was about 11am (which apperently you shouldn't do between 10am and 4pm)

so I chose a simple place, tidyed it up abit (You dont want a distracting background that takes the focus any from your celica.)


and now add a clean(ish) Celica, washed yesterday




doing a bit of photoshoping I tidyed up the lawn (not perfect, but does look nicer)



Changing the exposure compensater (or lighting*?)




this is apperntly another no no having the sun in front of your celica, too much glare and shadows.

will put more up

The weather sucked it was overcast with the sun breaking through in all kinds of spots. Occasionally it would rain
then the sun would come out, it was a real biznitch to get proper exposure. I was close, probably within 10 or 15 feet.

Time was about 6 pm appox 3 hrs before sundown
