What can I do to improve my photography skills further from this point to create pictures like @JT2MA71 @DownUnder @bakalag @autovation ? I have a decent camera, I can choose higher quality lighting dependent on time of day, so is the remaining portion all post processing? I'll try to take some new pictures during tonight's sunset.

I need to find a different spot for sunsets. The location for sunrises isn't adequate for sunsets since I can't capture the full golden ratio.

I've probably only put a couple hundred miles on the F this summer... got a couple small issues I need to work out on the car.




Decided to give her a bath this weekend, went for a spin and parked next to my buddy's E63S AMG

Your last post of pictures look great! Honestly, it's hit or miss with me and I only use my iPhone. I take a lot of pictures and just choose whichever come out decent

You guys have superb quality pictures during midday. Apparently, I don't know how to create the same quality with my pictures. My best pictures are only during the golden hour of sunrises and sunsets. So, you guys must have a secret!

I usually adjust exposure, brilliance, and shadows on the iPhone, sometimes brightness.

That's what I do... everyone has their own preference of how they like they're photos; ie high contrast, dramatic lighting, warm tones vs cool tones, etc.

Key is to just play around with the iphone photo adjustments; I usually click Auto, bump up the exposure a tad, increase the brilliance, drop the highlights a little, bump up the shadows, drop down the contrast, bump up the black point, add a little bit of warmth, and a tiny bit of sharpness and definition.
