Tips on photographing cars?
 

i have a friend who has a performance car site and occasionally shoots car photos..

Any tips for him on how to get good looking shots?

He says his all look crappy and amateurish.

dont use a flash...use real lighting :)

Nothing beats a sunny day ;)

what about position... is it best to get a bit above the car?

Here's a pic I took of my old Chevy:

I find if you shoot a car at a low to the ground front/side veiw .. it tends to look bettter..... any car , even my shit box :thumbsup

drool

word, that's a nice angle. i always use that when shooting any kind of vehicle. angles like this are quite good looking as well, but they don't show the whole subject.
