Nice work. I like the way the Opel looks "beefy" on the last pic.

My only crit is the strong sense of reflections but thats something easy to work on. :)

Grab yourself a circular polarising filter. It will help to reduce reflections. Check your PM, got some other goodies for you.

got pm, thx! those are good tips...

and one more thing, I had some technical difficulties at first...

I tried to put my camera in M mode, I would choose shutter speed around 160-80, F/8 experimenting with each - due to intense daylight, I was getting overexposed photos everything washed out. Then I used TV mode with speeds around 50-60, but F would go nuts here up to 21 etc...

So I decided to wait till sun would go off, and get some more balanced lightning, after that TV worked just perfect.

My question, what do u do in bright sunlight? I need slow shutter speed, but I don't want to overxpose photo, what are my options?

This will help to boost colours in the cars, allow you to get away with slower shutter speeds in Tv mode without stopping down the lens. Also reflections and shadows will be less harsh.

Cool shots, certainly look like a magazine shoot. :) Get rid of the number plates before the shoot though.

The Opel Coupe? Is that a Vauxhal VX220 in disguise?!
