Sorry about some of the photos quality, I'm no photographer...

Just a suggestion, :) not sure what kind of camera you're using and maybe photos of your car aren't important to you, but if you want better results, shoot your photos later in the day, not when the sun is directly overhead. Are you shooting in automatic? Try the manual setting and correct the F stop and shutter speed. That is a beautiful color, just overexposed.

It was just freshly painted
it was the 1st sunny day, after I could finally get it out
& yes it was mid day Oct. 29th 2017

I was impatient, I didn't care

I don't really care or know much about photography
& I'm not a photographer, I don't/won't spend much
on it either....
Obviously....

I just wanted a shot of the car outside, finally...

I go thru cameras like socks,
most are cheap digital throwaways too...

thanks for the suggestions

It might be possible to correct the exposure in the computer if you have a program. I like taking a lot of photos of my car as I work on it and finished. I can tell it's midday because of the shadows. Just a suggestion, not important.
