All are straight from the camera. 3 is a little dark, but...

Car shows are tough & these aren't bad, but I wouldn't tilt the camera without a good reason.
I kind of like #5, but aren't loving the power lines in # 4.

3 is a little dark, but...

This shows how the subject can affect the exposure & why manual keeps me worry free:
Post #47

First set the f-stop & shutter speed you need. Then adjust the ISO.

Like PhotosGuy said, tilting the camera just for the sake of tilting the camera just leaves me tilting my head to try and see it straight. It's incredibly rare that I find a tilt helps a picture more than it hurts it. I would like all of them a lot without the tilt aside from number 3 (which ironically isn't tilted), which I think could use a wider crop since you can't see the full front end of either car. That's probably just personal taste though.

Why not use a polariser to kill those reflections.

Because polarizers only work on non-metallic surfaces.

I didn't know that, I thought they worked with light from a given direction.

Great cars, id also like to see these from another angle, the first one made me a little dizzy looking at it.

I'd like to say that I was being fancy with the angles but I was standing on top of them with the kit 18-55. I did what I could to get the whole car in the photos...

I actually like the angle on the Beetle...
