Hi Jeff Bowlsby, thanks you for your kind words about my photos. The key to enhancing photos is using photoshop. There are about six steps to follow.

1. CROP THE IMAGE: Remove areas of the photo that take away from the greatness of the cars.

2. IMAGE SIZE: Resize the image so you have a nice large image to view. Now remember if it is a digital photo of 5 mega. pixel the image size is about 36"x 25" so your new size will be 15" wide by maybe 6" after cropping with a resolution of 72.

3. SHARPEN: When you sharpen an image on photoshop it is good to use alittle, too much, and your image will grain. I use UNSHARPEN MASK under shapen tool. The setting are AMOUNT: 100%, RADIUS :0.3 pixels, THRESHOLD: o levels.

4.HUE/SATURATION: I use SATURATION to pump-up the color. I have been using +10 to +18. Move the slider and see what happens to your image. It' all in the adjustments.

5. BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST: I sometime use this tool if my photo is too light,or too dark. When you have to lighten an image using Brightness it sometimes looks pale,and than you need to use the Contrast control to pump-up the detail. Alittle goes along way when making adjustments.

6. SAVE: I try to keep the Quality setting to high or medium depending on how large the file becomes. My photos are about 280 kb's to 370 kb's.


I photo cars as if I were going to use them in art work. I use high,low ,and normal angles to photograph a car. I look for details as reflections ,and how people and trees flow in the surfaces. This all adds to a great or better photo. I do not use any filters,and my camera is a Sony Cyber-shot 5.mega pixel,model number DSC-F707.
