I really like that, would have looked better without your shadow though, but I like the idea. Looks like youve uncovered it after being in the shade for years.

yeah it was good to just go out & take photos while the others were stuck indoors writing etc 
automotive photography is something id like to get into, i have been using a normal point & shoot digi cam but am hoping to get something with some more features & a bit of creativity just cant afford a dslr atm

I can definitely say its worth spending the money on one. Try get a decent body but don't skimp on the lenses!
Im shooting with a Nikon D70s which i would highly recommend.

yeah i have heard lots of good things about the D70s & the D350/400
as i havent really used a dslr before i think i am going to go for a digi cam with more creativity for now such as a Fuji S5600 Zoom , see if i like it & can always upgrade from there, once i have had some practice/exerience

Yeah good idea mate. Play around and experiment with different shutter speeds, apertures etc. I find thats the best way just be really experimental

the first 1 is really nice but it needs the verticals straightened out,go in to photoshop and use the transform tool to get those verticals,vertical.
