I've been playing around with my camera and lighting I have set up and am finally learning how to do some simple realistic looking pics... The detail od the casting has alot to do with it as well as the lightning !!!

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
...and your angle of light, Steve. Note the sun is on the right side and casting shadows to the left on the roof and the house next door. The casting should have the light source come from the matching direction.
Yours looks pretty good! You got the sizing and focus to match and look correct, so that alone makes a pretty good shot!!

Yeah Ivantt... I'm flattered you caught the shadow trick... I was trying very hard to get that right... It's not perfect, but my arm wasn't long enough to hold the light up any further !!!
Thanks for the compliments and the imput... I work pretty hard on some of these pics and dios, and I really do appreciate any info or advise... Positive or negative...

My only beef about your great shots Stangfreak is that you often protray Camaro's in the wrong light......

Silverado's make great tow vehicles, and you do what you gotta do to keep those miles down on any classic car.
