How to Take Pictures of Your Car
by Paul Economou


The never ending quest to get that one awesome shot worth printing out and blowing up is on a lot of car enthusiasts minds. Just sharing pictures of your car is fun and all, but if you can portray your car as being as awesome as you think it is by using the camera the right way, it makes the pictures all the more effective in getting your point across. It might sound a little cliché, but its very true, a picture is worth a thousand words.

This write-up will hopefully help out some fellow car enthusiasts in finding how they can take that one "money" shot of their car. All these ideas come from about a year or two of taking pictures of cars on a regular basis, experimenting with angles and camera settings.

The process:

1. The first step in getting the right picture is your background. Unfortunately, if the background isn't right, the viewer will have lost paying attention to the main subject and it will draw the eyes to the background, away from the car. Try to find a background that either compliments the car, or just adds to the car, without completely distracting you from it.

Gonna use that info as soon as I stop being lazy and wash/wax my car. Right now you'd ask "did you get the celica free when you bought the dirt?"

Very good article

how do you take good moving pictures, like if you want to catch a car on the street... or if your moving and cannot stop and you want to grab a pic?

Im talking about if one car is going faster then the other, or if one is parked and you cannot stop, would it be easier to just go around the block, park and get out and take the picture?

We should submit some of these "I took some pictures of my car in the middle of the night. Sorry for the poor lighting, but I've used photoshop to brighten it up. So now you can see a LOT of white static, and the outlines of my car in the middle of the night. Cool or what?" threads we get here constantly, as examples of what NOT to do.
