  Love the #2 & #3 photo!!
  
  anyway, welcome to Canon EOS Club. lolx
  
  oOps. =X
  
  your first 2 photos seems abit dark though.
  
  maybe adding another light from the top?
  
  seems like you have a DIY light box, which is great!
  
  i haven't went into the trouble to make one though.
  
  but in the first photos, the cardboard of the light box could be seen.
  
  maybe it would be better if you add some white paper to cover it up too?
  
  could see that one of the side paper u used are with lines too.
  
  anyway, nice photos and nice model!!

  Great! Improved a lot from the F40 shoot!
  Nice pics..
  
  But still have to take care of ur exposure. Some of the photos look a bit overexposed to me, esp the 4th one..
  
  Also, try to hide away the edge of ur background to gain perfection..

  His pics are already better than what most normal digicams can achieve..
  And yup, he is using the same camera and lens as me..

  I know.. I used an olympus mju digital before i got the eos..
  But his first 2 pics.. quite obvious taken with a DSLR, as there are no noise in the dark areas..

  Whoa... So many replies... Thanks bros!
  
  On most photos, the camera's onboard exposure meter says it's mostly correct, some are +/- off. Turned out a little dark though, I admit.
  Yup, I used the DIY light box with the link from Mirage. I'll try adding some white paper at the edges in the next shoot.
  The side paper came with lines because I couldn't get one without lines, as the box is 16X16 inches.
  
  Hexy, will focus on the steering wheel then.
  Yes, I'm using same camera and lens as Hexy, but he's wayyyyy better than me
  
  Actually, in some conditions, I actually think my previous camera, the Lumix FX7 is better than my EOS with this lens. The Leica lens seems "brighter" in dark conditions, as you only need 1 second of shutter time most of the time. Of course, you can change lenses on this camera.
  
  Jasonist, actually, only the camera is the expensive one. The rest aren't really! (except for the car, let's not forget it)
  
  Thanks all for kind and encouraging comments!
