I'm stealing a 66 Charger tomorrow!

Don't have the front tires pointed straight forward as it is boring. For shots where the camera is at the right
front corner of the car the tires should be turned about 30° away from the camera so the outside of the
wheel shows and not the tire tread. For the left front turn them so the wheel is again presented to the
camera and not the tire tread. Same for shots from the rear.

Streaks of sunshine across the car's finish looks bad, so shoot in full sun with the sun behind the
camera and illuminating the side of the car that is being photographed. Noon time is the worst time to
photograph a car as it tends to illuminate the roof, hood and deck lid and leave the sides in shadow.
Late afternoon sunshine is usually best. You can also shoot in the shade where the light is softer and less specular.
But the light in the shade willhave a blue cast to it. If shooting in sunshine and you want to get the other side of
the car you will need to rotate the car 180° from the first shot so the sun is still behind the camera and still
illuminating the side of the car that you are photographing.

Well that explains why I have so many crappy pictures of my cars :shock:
