Thanks guys....
Here's the pictures 100% uncorrected. I need to learn how to edit the pictures from this new camera. The colors are really easy to saturate. Anyway, here's the originals.

Thanks for sharing JJ. They almost look better unaltered. Colors got a bit saturated. Either way the car looks great. Can't wait to see them inevitably get better as you get used to the camera.

I only use Lr5, but will be starting to use the free version of photoshop CS2 as well. In my signature is an edited photo of my old way of enhancing photos. I ran across a photographer that uses Lr5 and has another way of using it. I've been working his way and have had some turn out really nice. Here's a couple for comparison.

Only used Lr5 for those. Sometimes I add to much clarity saturation as well as adjusting the white and blacks....Trying to find the balance.

Haha, yeah, that last one is super high on the clarity and saturation. Looks pretty cool on that car though. I have some that I do like that too. I was going to offer that you can get LR5 and Photoshop CS5 for $10 a month with the Adobe Photographers packages. That's what I do. I rarely use Photoshop though. I find that LR can do just about anything I need to these days. Photoshop is more for image manipulation like fine edits and touch ups which are definitely necessary to perfect a photo, I just don't take photos for anyone but me really, so I rarely go into that detail. I've been using Photoshop for about as long as I can remember and it's still quite daunting.
I'd like to try to get some photography classes on video to you some time. I think you'd really enjoy them. I know they were tremendously helpful to me even on subjects that I thought I knew fairly well. I'll have to bring them on USB to you at a meet up sometime though as they are MASSIVE. Let me check... yeah, 25 GB. He touches on some editing but the large majority of it is about shooting.
