Nice shots, but ease up on the saturation ... it looks like that grass is radioactive. If you want the car to pop, use selective saturation to bump up the red of the car and mask out the green.

Yeah I went pretty heavy on it lol. Didn't do fine detailed stuff as it was my first attempt. Thanks though i'll try some of that!

Lies. Simply making your fantasy a reality and yeah Sara has been calling and texting a lot lately..that explains it.. hehe i kid i kid
It's the radioactive grass, gives the illusion of cleanliness. Need to get it detailed, swirl marks pretty bad, although the cheap mitsu paint would probably peel all the way off then.
Ok Matt finally got a minute to sit down and play with the settings again. Some are radioactive because hannah used the "vivid" camera setting when she took the photo, look how some are much brighter than others^^^. I'm glad you pointed that out though i didn't pay much attention to the background. That particular setting on her camera must just explode saturation on the shots lol. The ones with regular exposure when taken, the grass is not japanese lol duh dum tsss (tsunami joke)

On the newer DSLRs you can choose picture "styles" or similar. If you plan to do any post work, look in to a "flat" setting. Using a flat setting keeps as much detail as possible in the shadows and highlights. It's kind of like naturally using the Shadow/Highlight adjustment in P'Shop.
In reality, most cameras will auto correct your shots while they are saving. They adjust the levels and contrast to give more appealing shots right out of the camera (this is what Canon's "standard" picture mode does). However, doing this actually crushes the exposure data and you effectively lose detail in the areas on the edges of the spectrum ... the whites and blacks. Most shots look great with this adjustment, but if you want the ability to really work with all the data you can in post, you need to keep as much of the original exposure data as possible. that way you choose if you want to crush the blacks or not, and you aren't stuck trying to invent detail in post.
