Truthfully, I prefer the one in your sig over any of these. They mostly seem out of focus and have poor lighting.


A few tips to get the most out of your car pictures:

*Find a background that doesn't distract from the car or add a bunch of reflections to it.
*Take your pictures at sunrise/sunset (best time for natural lighting).
*Be aware of your surroundings, both behind you and your subject. Otherwise you won't notice the car in the background or the reflection of the tree in your windshield until you get to your computer.
*Turn your wheels slightly, and try to get as much of the surface of the wheel to face the camera (like the last pic).

Phewes' sig is a great example of how reflections behind you/the camera matter.

If he had a forest behind him, that picture would not be nearly as nice.


Honestly, you don't need the best camera to take nice pictures. Your A540 is capable of giving you nice shots. Just go out an take as many as your memory card/batteries will allow. You're bound to accidentally get a good picture sometime.

7 is my favorite. But getting some other photos would be best. Dont try to rush it, rushing will only get you a half assed job. Im sure you know that from working on cars.

I dont think any of those are calendar worthy. Some of my suggestions have been already said. You need a tripod, different location, tireshine, and different lighting.

Personally I say #4, but like others have said almost all of them appear to be out of focus so it really kinda ruins the picture. get some of the same angles with them all in focus and you'll definately have a winner

i think #7 and #12 are both good ones, if i had to pick between the 2 id say #7 it brings out the color more with the sun on it

Not quite picking one of them for you.... kind of off topic... but I just wanna take a minute to say that despite not getting along with you once in a while, your car makes my PP happy. It truely is modded perfectly.


On the other hand....you have other fingers.
