Hey everyone, ever since seeing some of the pics on this site, I've been looking for some places around me to take some pics, other than my driveway, haha. So, anyway, I drove to the top of the parking garage and took a few. I'm not the best with the camera, and I've just got a little $200 sony.

OH YEAH, if anyone good with Photoshop wants to help me out and do something cool with the pics, I would be very grateful! I've seen some of your pics and they look amazing. I especially like the ones with the black boarders and the effects you are able to add.

But, for what it's worth, here they are:

haha. OMG, i was going to dothis for a photoshoot too but in Cali of course. good job. I suggest you turn ur wheels in an angle a bit. Otherwise I am jealous you did this before me.. and now i wont be able to do it until summer.. =[

Hey rimz, thanks a ton man - I really appreciate it! I didn't think anyone would actually do this for me. I have photoshop on the old PC in my room, I might have to start messing around with it. Are there any good resources out there for learning to use it?

See what buying this TL did to me - I've now ordered more car care supplies online in the past two months than I have in my entire life, I've gone outta my way to take pictures of the car and now I'm wanting to learn to use PS, haha.

innocentwinky, thanks, but I have to say this wasn't an original idea...I've seen the rooftop photoshoot done before. I wanna do it again, but I want to find a garage that has more going on in the backgrounds - I had to move the car around quite a bit to get some buildings in the background. I'm thinking of going downtown (Chicago) to get some good ones once I get better with the camera & photoshop. Thanks for the tips too.

rimz

there's a ton of PS resources out there...the first that comes to mind is Good Tutorials...feel to ask any questions you may have...

Just use the selection tool, make a square, select inverse, and fill the space

Jesstzn - thanks, that's pretty cool...I haven't seen that effect before. That's it - I'm putting PS on my laptop!

ballinfizzle89 - Nice, I like the blacked out headlights! It's one thing to see them on other cars, but to see them on my own is pretty sweet.

Thanks everyone...hopefully I'll be able to do this on my own soon, haha.
