Car photoshoot ideas?

[Bobbert86]

Im gonna try to do a photoshoot of my friends cars and my fiancee's car. We have a location picked out- would like some day shots, sunset shots, and some night time shots. Any suggestions for angles, shots, ideas, settings. Im using a Canon Powershot A610 and will have a tripod handy. Thanx for any help guys.

Inside a big warehouse -like a plane hanger. The interior is usually grey monotones and if you light the car's paint and switch on the lights... it'll be a hit.

"light the cars paint and switch on the lights"? what do you mean. headlights? sorry. do you have aol/aim seems your online right now and would be easier that way.

Headlights on. Your buddy's car doing side lighting on the subject car. Also some lower light on the other side of the car to act like a hair light on a portrait.

You'd need a long shutter and a tripod or bean bag at a minimum. I've been looking for a location to do this shot myself. Hard to find empty sheds...

One day I'll get lucky.

i was thinking of a multi layered parking lot *thats probably the wrong word lol* you know the ones that have like 5 floors for parking your vehicle, either do it somewhere on a empty floor, or on the roof to show the landscape or city lights at night if any. yeah i have a tripod so this should be fun.
