I just got the camera so I have no clue how to use all the features or anything so these are unedited prob bad pics but hey I got them online, WOOT

Nice car. Clean. Props. :goodjob:

Pics are not bad at all really.

Two suggestions though: Your WB is off and always try and shoot with the sun at your back. A few of the pics have a redish hue to them, and that's because you probably shot most of them with the WB on Auto. Try playing around with it and changing it based on your outdoor lighting conditions (sunny, shade, cloudy, etc.). It may make a difference. If not, that's easily corrected in PS anyway, so it's not a biggie.

The shots of the interior was because the sun was in front of you. Again, no biggie. Next time just try and get the sun at your back and you won't have flare spots.

BTW, the XT is a great camera that has a ton of really cool features. Read up on it and you'll see that it really does have a lot of bells and whistles.

Good luck with everything. :goodjob:

I'm not a photo expert but it feels too off center because the focus of the shot is rear of the door/rear quarter panel part of the car you can see so it feels heavy to the left and the right doesn't have enough going on to balance out the car. I dunno if it made sense but I'd just crop it a bit more to shift the focus horizontally.

Other than the reflections, which bug some people....there's nothing wrong with the editing per se.

The pic is off center for no reason though. What was your purpose for that?

Next time, try shooting it very shallow to blur out the background. If the background doesn't add to the pic, it can sometimes take away from the pic. Your background in that pic doesn't really add anything, it actually takes away from the cleanliness of the car. Focus on the car and blur the background. DOF is a cool thing to play with. Use it to your advantage.

Most cameras have either full manual or preset modes that will manipulate the parameters to give you the intended look. Portrait modes usually give you that shallow DOF because they're only intended subject is a person. You may be able to shoot it using that kind of preset on your car too, since that's your only subject in that shot. You can also do it manuall, but that usually involves multiple steps.

Hope I didn't confuse you. :goodjob:

Unless it's overcast I wouldn't attempt to shoot in the middle of the day, especially a white car...try the 30 minute or so window during a sunrise or sunset when the sky acts as a natural softbox.
