Ha... exactly the same here! I have to try and remember to look at the ones that come out well to see what they were.
Great pics... although with such a great looking car you have a good head start
Sorry just visiting this thread again since my last post.
50mm prime (fixed, i.e doexnt zoom) lens really is only good for close up people shots, they have a very shallow depth to them.
I'd recomend using another lens for car shots etc, the standard kit one or a upgraded version if you have one. My walkabout lens is a 17-70mm one, and I only use my prime for people stuff, anything with more than a heads worth of depth to it = I use the 17-70mm.
When you take the pic look and see what F/stop number it is taking it at, you can usually see this via the view finder, i.e 7.1, 11, 5.6 etc. Lower = less range in focus, higher number = more range in focus. With cars you want to be around 9-11 I'd say.
As for ISO quesiton, totally depends on the light and your F/stop, the lens etc, 'generally speaking' for the benefit of this thead....
ISO100 = perfectly lit sunny day, ideally with tripod
ISO200 = good light, i.e sunny
ISO400 = pretty good light maybe a bit cloudy
ISO800 = the light isnt great, either getting dark or its rather dull/little natural light
ISO1600= very little natural light
Higher the ISO the more grainey the pics will look, doubt you will notice this until you get to ISO800 though. Of course lower ISO= longer shutter opening to cpature the image = more chance of blur/camera shake (hence why people always say get a good tripod).
Hope this helps.

shabba, that's great, thank you! Will be a big help in my photographic exploits... will see if this improves my pic for next month's competition
Only criticism, your advice does squat for improving composition! Oh well, guess that's down to me :|

The fact that you used the word "composition" with reference to photography puts you miles ahead of the majority..PawnSacrifice said:shabba, that's great, thank you! Will be a big help in my photographic exploits... will see if this improves my pic for next month's competition
