like the second location better. the last few aren't loading for me so i don't know what they are... but either the car is very dirty or the camera picks up a lot of the inperfections...

A few pointers (I wont be the dick)
- Don't take pictures when the sun is high, it tends to wash them out. If you have to, lower the exposure
- Use the rule of thirds when aligning the shots to make them more appealing to the eye.
- Auto mode is your worst enemy (what kind of camera is it?)

And lastly...
- Don't take pictures when your friend's butt is in the reflection of your trunk

. It amused me!

Nice shots, and nice cars

Take pics right at sunrise or sunset. Not at Noon. Set your ride with the sun hitting the side your shooting, not the shadowed side.

The thing that hit my most is that in a few of the static shots, the centering was off a bit. I know you not a pro and the camera is new. You will get it as you get used to the camera. Nice job overall!! The two rides are nice, love the black.

I don't know much about the Canon's controls otherwise I could help more in that department, I shoot with a Nikon.

Go get a book with video about your camera. It will go over all the basic controls in detail so you can start playing with stuff and get more familiar with it.
