Some great pics guys!

after doing quite a bit of car photography/filming over the years heres my top tips.

1) Remove the tax disc and/or parking permit
2) watch out for any foreign objects behind the car, which will look strange poking out the top (obviously these can be photoshoped these days)
3) try not to photograph on grass, simply because it can hide the wheels and distort the look
4) put the headlights on, can sometimes add to it, esp at night!
5) turning wheels at an angle can look good, if the photographic angle is right
6) try to flag hot spots on paintwork created by the sun or light sources
7) magic hour is fantastic time to photograph cars, for those that dont know, the hour in the morning when the sun is rising and the hour in the evening when its setting.

that my tuppence worth.

I'll be posting some pics soon!

sorry candy, but thats a great example of a foreign object poking out of the top (i.e. the tree)
