Oh hey bumblebeemer. I recognize you from E30tech.

#1 has some wierd distortion, the car looks like someone cut a chunk out of the middle.

#2 is alright, but there is a lightpole going through the car. Try to avoid any objects going through the car.

#3 is pretty sick. Did you just stick the camera through the sunroof and use a long shutter speed?

yea when i added a border on the first one it went retarded. i tryed to fix it a lil but i was tired so i left it. yea the last one was kinda tricky. i had my tripod mounted crazy inside the car with seatbelts and stuff and i had it pointed out the sunroof. i had a 30 second shutter while i was cruising at about 45 throught traffic lights so i got all kinda colors on it from the resturants and stuff on the sides. that is probably my favorite

I think there are pretty good. There is definitely some resize distortion going on. What are you using to resize?. The white balance is perfect in all 3, not bad for a new dslr owner.

Compostion wise:
1.The car is really small in the picture, crop that down with either your lens/distance/crop tool. There is a light pole and tree growing out of your car.
2.Composition is much better (using thirds, good), again the light pole.
3. Excellent, these are one of my favorite things to do.

one of mine...

Keep at it! More pictures you take, the better you will get.

He just drove and the movement was all capture in the picture because the lense was left open so long... granted im no pro at photography

Tripod and a camera that allows you to manually control how long the shutter is open.

yea its just a slower shutter speed. i used a 30 second shutter on a Nikon D40x tripod mounted out the sunroof for that shot.
