Jeff,
just select "new thread" and click on browse.

Select a file from your PC of the right format and make sure it is less than 100kb in size.

That's one way.

i fixed it for you. you shouldn't copy and paste the link to the PAGE of the pic. right click on the pic you uploaded, go to properties. you will see the link to the pic (the jpg file). copy and paste that here

and about the pic, i think it's very nice. a bit too dark, if it was 10 mins earlier it should better. and the angle is pretty damn good

Yes great angle. But you need to have a longer exposure time for your shots. What type of equipment are you using?

nice photo. the composition is pretty good. yeah, maybe a tiny bit more ground would be more ideal. however, it is all just one's opinions.

pretty stunning picture indeed. the car is awesome looking.

if you are using a digital camera, you may try playing with "spot metering". this will meter the light at the any specific spot you point, while holding shutter down, you can then keep the meter and compose the picture the way you want.

so for this specific shot, you could of spot metered the car which should make the shot brighter since the car is probably casting shadow with light behind it.

or you could spot meter the sunset and then the car would be like a shadow since the meter is set for bright lights.

of course a longer exposure time will make the whole thing brighter with more light exposed to the "film".

as for long exposure shots over 1 second, a tri-pod becomes necessary unless you have super super steady hands and arms.

anyway, lots of possibilities.

overall, still a great photo!

dude, I love the pics. very artistic way of doing them. IMO i think the sun was in just the correct spot to cast the reflection on the car. great colors in the sky at that time too. i think its perfect.
