Amateur photo shoot/editing(pic heavy)
Hey guys and gals
I've recently purchased a Nikon D3100, a pretty good beginners camera, and I wanted to take photos of my car.
Below are some of my first photos I've taken using this camera and some very slight photo editing, just some basic color enhancement and some crazy stuff as well.
I would love some constructive criticism, tips, and other useful information as I start on my photography journey lol.
I live in a place where there arent a ton of cool scenic options, so this was taken in an empty lot in front of a field, but if anyone can suggest common types of cool locations, lemme know.
The photos also contain watermarks since im currently trying out trial version of a photo editing program.
ok enough talk, enjoy.
Me and the chariot of fire.

Amazing car and the photos look great! There's lots of programs you can use. Some are expensive and some are free. Just depends on if you're on PC or Mac. Photoshop is amazing (you can get a 30 day trial)! For Mac, Pixelmator or Photoshop. Pixelmator is $15.00 I believe and it has cool functions like adding sun rays and cool stuff like that 
Best way to learn is obviously tutorials but I just mess around with all the features. But great job for your first time! As far as using the car to your advantage, for example in the last picture, turn the wheel to the passenger side and it'll stick out that wheel and show off it's sexiness 
you'll get it! Great job!
