Few questions for an Amateur

[Realasthis]

I just got a DSLR, and wanted to start taking pics of cars

I just wanted to know some basic tips for shooting cars, and what the first things you do when you put them into photoshop to make the photos pop.

Don't rely on photoshop, it's never going to make you a better photographer. Composistion, focus, and natural lighting, are plenty to work on for the next few years.

looking at your pics,, I'd suggest shooting before the sun goes down, steady your hand, and take more pics... a few hundred if you want a few good ones

was your auto focus on????
