Car club shoot

[NMGolfHacker]

My brother is in a local car club of about 10 cars. All Chevrolet's from 1940-1954. This particular club has been around since the 50's that my father was one of the original members in Los Angeles. The entire club has over 400 members nationwide.

Anyway they are being featured in a national magazine and in need of some pictures to send in. Every chapter is sending in pictures to be included. I have been asked to help. They have setup a location which is a local park and the only day available is this Saturday at noon. The worst possible time for shooting cars in the NM sun. Luckily the park is surrounded by tall trees and pretty much covered in shade. Whew.

Any advice would be great. I am planning on taking my 3 Vivitar 285HV's and setting them on light stands to get fill light under the shade. Any other suggestions?

Shade might work IF you can keep the tree reflections out of the body of the cars.

How many cars do you need shots of? All 10? Personally, I'd find a better location & ask some of them to go there for a late PM shoot. See my Sig for ideas.

Thank you so much. I got some great ideas from your post you directed me to. This particular park has big hills and on hill there is a restaurant that shades a lot of the park all day. I am going to go today at noon to take a look at what I have to work with.

Once again thank you very much.
