Heya! I tend to shoot alots of things, but one thing I never really shoot are cars. So today my friend suggested I go with him to the Motor Show and I gladly accepted. Here are the results. Comments welcome!

The vibrant colors of an auto show can create some amazing effects and you capture them well. Great job!

Not to mention that Holden's rims would go very nice with a certain lens of mine with that red ring.

Love the detail headlamp shot. I wish you would have pulled back a couple inches to get the front edge of the lamp in the shot too, and maybe a touch of the grill. The Holden and Ferrari shots are solid ones too, but the Audi doesn't hit me with the fisheye. Personally, I would have hit it from head on or running from the tail forward off to the side. I think it would have worked the lines of the car better.

Thanks for the comments guys! I appreciate it.

Engine3photo, it wasn't fisheye but glad to know 10mm was so wide that it created the illusion of being fisheye. :D Here are a few more of the Audi, hopefully these are better. Thanks for the headlamp comment.

:cool: these are awesome pix. The only thing that gets me is the yellow reflection on the rear drivers side quarter.

if only the HSV had the door close, would have been way more awesome, also love your pics, nice angles.

You and your closed doors...I personally think it looks better with the door open. Fills the frame a bit more and allows you to see the door shape itself, rather than just how the door flows with the car. Plus it's covering up a nasty little white thing in the background.

Thanks for the comments everyone! Yeah, I purposely left the door open - I felt it gave the car more of an exhibitionist feel. :D

Nice series - I like the last one (Holden) and the fourth R8 shot in particular.

Thanks Jim!
