Amateur phot from the UK!

Hi guys,

I've had a massive interest in automotive photography now for the last year and a half. I always see the photos from the likes of stanceworks and fatlace etc and how the look so clean, when I try to replicate that look I really struggle in post! I've got my own DSLR (Canon 1100D and a Canon 17-55 f2.8 IS USM Lens) So a Great lens but a beginner DSLR, is this the problem? Is there any sort of particular techniques you all use in post processing to get that 'clean' look?

I appreciate its a very broad thread but any tips would be great!

Thanks

Ian

It's definitely not a limitation of the gear. Post pics of your work. People will be able to give you constructive criticism easier if they have examples.

Most of the time the difference isn't in post processing but in correctly utilizing the light available to you IMO.

That's definitely not an issue.
Nice glass with a cheap camera will take better pictures than a pro dlsr with a cheapo lens.

It's all about the glass man!
+1 for posting some pics
