My first photoshoot Options

[Random_Stranger]

Not that anyone really cares but I am posting them anyways. I decided to take photos of my car, yes I know it is not in perfect condition. I just want to learn how to use photoshop. My computer sucks and I can't even install it, so I used Kodak Software for my old ass 2.0 megapixel camera. Wow! I am just ghettofied huh?! A CPU from 2000 Running windows ME (EW) and this stupid old Kodak Camera that you can probably get for $30. LOL Anyways, this is my attempt at something photoshop related and I spent probably less than 5 minutes per pic (so don't be too hard on me, ok?). I don't have any knowledge of photography, but I want to learn. Probably over saturated things and such, but any feedback is helpful regarding improvement. Thanks.





LOL Notice my ghetto seat cover all pulled down in this pic below













Ok, I guess that's enough. Thanks for looking at them though and any feedback, good or bad.

First off, you totally sold yourself short in your OP and basically bashed on yourself before anyone could get to you first if they were so inclined. F the haters. Be proud of your stuff. I think you have a really good eye and should seriously consider investing in a camera that is a little more sophisticated, and a better computer if you can get your hands on one. It's amazing what you can do with the right tools. You already have an eye; it would help for you to have the right tools to develop it. Sometimes that in itself can inspire you to take some amazing shots.

I think the car looks great, by the way. Love the projectors of course... and the rims really personalize the style of the car. I even like the ghetto-ass seat covers. I have a set of even more ghetto seat covers than that, and I honestly really don't care what other people think of them and neither should you.

Awe, Griff. Thanks. That really inspired me and you are right. You just gotta go out there and tackle it all. The only reason why I have kind of bashed on myself was out of guilt. I know since I have joined this site, I haven't exactly came off as the nicest or the smartest person. I guess I am like this now as a means to humble myself and ask everyone to forgive me, as I really look forward to getting closer with everyone and learning from them and seeing their progress as much as possible.

My seat covers are really ghetto though, but those things will change in time. Thanks for taking a look. I am going to invest in such things. My cousin is into photography and put together www.noimagephotography.com for those who are interested.

But now I think I want to help him out and even though I have no intentions on being a photographer, I do find this very interesting and want to learn about it to at least be a semi-decent novice at it. Thanks again though for looking and your inspiring words. You always have the greatest things to come out of your mouth and I can't imagine what those who have come to know you would do or where they would be if you didn't make such a big impact on their lives or even had the pleasure of getting to know you.

I really pray that anything you are going through is resolved with a sweet taste in your mouth and a positive outlook once all is said and done. I can tell you really deserve the greatest things life has to offer.
