New camera/ First time taking pics.

Recently purchased a canon t3i, been reading the manuel a lot, figuring out the whole exposure, metering, aperture, iso, and etc... so i decided to practice a bit on my car, since i had nothing better to do. excuse the dirty car. Criticism welcomed, i will say this, i am looking for fatter tires to put on. just in my defense haha. Name:  IMG_5451_zpsf89fe48a.jpg

Definitely a camera worth buying. I suggest reading the manuel to learn what each mode does. Its a bit of reading but once you more or less get the point of it, it turns into a very fun hobby.

A decent first time shots. A bit overexposed. Look into buying a polarizer. It'll change your car photos dramatically.

Here's what I have. Amazon.com: B+W 77mm Circular Polarizer with Multi-Resistant Coating: Camera & Photo

As stated, a bit overexposed. Do you have photoshop or anything that allows you to manipulate the .RAW file? Pretty sure most DSLRs come with something basic to do it that lets you change values for brightness, exposure, contrast and other nifty things to make your photos come out better.

I use lightroom for raw files. My T1i came with some program to do the same thing basically so I assume your T3i would have something along those lines. 8 looks good though

No I dont have photoshop. A program named digital media came with the camera. I only messed with the threshold and sharpness. For some odd reason it did not occur to me to mess with the other setting. Thansk for the heads up though

I was recommended lightroom by others also. I think I will have to check that program out. Thanks for the compliment.

Not bad for a first timer. You'll learn as you play with it. Lightroom is great for basic post-editing, but with 'resources' such as torrents, you can easily find big boy tools from Adobe for free. You didn't hear that from me though .

Love the Works btw.

I found it at a local show, I don't remember who the vendor was exactly. I was cracking up also when i found that sticker, taillight seemed like the perfect place for it.
