I suck at taking pics.

...following the 'I suck at Photoshop' topic, here's my attempt at being a photographer. Not too bad, but I'm not giving up my 'career' yet.
Anyone else have some artsy photo's? Or general photographic comments?
Rob, I know you've got skills. Show me!

they dont look to bad. Go into p/s and add a motion blur to the backround (not the car) and change it to black and white and that will a cool as f**k pic.
you got the angles and the light source right, just need some more ambient light.
I had some real problems trying to get some decent pics of my car - Dragon Green is just too dark!

nice pics
just took some of mine too this afternoon, but they are not as arty as yours
(Just wanted to have something to remember.. My polo was at an all time low height today
it looked awsome in my eyes.. just screwed it back about an inch higher, much easier to drive now
)

Yeah night shots especially are h a r d. I'll keep trying. I'll also give Photoshop a go, see if I can master it a bit more.

speedlaw i notice that you have a 165/45/15 tyre on the front and a 195/45/15 on the back
the 165's look wicked
nice wheels btw!

Thanks fellas. The fronts are 165-50 btw, I didn't get the 45's to at least have some sort of similar circumfrence. They're skinny enough as it is...
@ Bart: Share! I love that pic of your front wheel, when it's sitting in the garage - the lowest-ever-pics
must be good. Cough it up, mister!

@robin: nice car
@ speedlaw: i've been looking @your pics, I think they look great actually. You are a modest man
I always try to improve my photograpic skills.. I think they look good, but i am not so sure though when I look at your pics
here they are. If I go any lower I cannot drive without scraping the road constantly.. or worse..

Bart, you are too kind. Big pics are great btw, makes 'em look better I think.
If you'll excuse me I'm off to shout some violent rude things. I've just seen the new pics of the Silver Bullet.
OMFG
*Edit:
In that last pic, notice how low the subframe hangs? It seriously is the Mother of All Low Polo's!
