Guide to taking better car photographs
While surfing through the M5 board, I came across this cool post that offers some tips on how to take better photographs of your cars and landscapes and so on.
Take a look at this

Me too.
I belong to the school of "switch camera on ... move to automatic ... pre-select best shot selector ... squint ... focus ... click ... pray that picture came correctly"

I tested out switching out the aperature and stuff to make it blurry, really cool would have never known how to do that.
A question for all the veteran camera guys, what shutter speed to you recomend? When i was taking pictures of my hand close up the background would be black when the shutter speed was at like 250, when is took the same type of pic but the shutter was at about 5 and i could see the background, so what speed do you guys recomend?

Agreed, if you a seriously into photography I highly suggest taking some type of course on it. If you lucky enough to still be in High School or College take one of those classes as an elective. I did, and it really helps give you a better grasp on taking quality photographs and will teach you how to use your camera well.
Good article though for beginners.
