The second image looks great. Looks like multiple images stack on each other for the final result.

Heres a quote from another forum which might explain the the rwkw figure. "That will be because guys with DD dynos will be running them in shoot 8f mode which adds about 50 rwkws"

A couple of pictures I took at a local hotrod show

Aperture is a function of the lense, so your aperture range will depend on the lense you are using. Have you come up with a way of lighting the cars yet?

I take it you mean the aperture? It should go higher than that. What lense are you using? An aperture setting around 10 is usually the sweet spot. What camera are you using?

When your using a tripod theres no need for your iso to be 800. The higher the iso the more noise(grainer looking) the picture will be. ISO should be 100-200. If you set the aperture around 10 then the image will be alot clearer(more of the pic will be in focus) also.

Can you tell us the shoot/camera settings info for each pic. Aperture settings dont look like they are what they should be. Are you sharpening the images?

Are you resetting your trip meter every time you fill up?

You need to at least sharpen all the images
