That car looks so deceiving. I wouldn't be able to tell that it was fast as hell unless, I heard the engine roaring. I'm waiting on a classic car show in October and there are lots of classics around my way. Can't wait to go. Nice shot Photosguy.

Quick question. If I was shooting midday like you did here. Would a CPL help alot in reducing reflection on the paint? I have no experience shooting autos so, maybe that would help alot. Thanks in advance.

If I was shooting midday like you did here. Would a CPL help alot... These were taken at about 5:30 PM & it was very overcast - not ideal, but you don't have a choice of time of day sometimes. I don't use a CPL. Generally, I don't like the effect & would rather work with the light that is there, so I don't carry it with me. Ideally, I prefer to wait until later to shoot (and have a black car, too!) :D
