One of my friends wanted me to take some pics of his car since he lowered it even more and wanted some updated pics of his cars stance. So I met him on top of the Oakridge Parking garage and took a few shots...

So low he was burning his fender with a spacer, but he took it out...

#2 is great. Might want to work on your angles of attack.

It's your friends car. Move it where you need it and... MOVE YOUR FEET! A <rant> of sorts.

I also like #2. Watch out for those shadows though.

As much as I love GM and its cars. That second to last iirc that Vue doesn't do anything for what would've been a great shot for me.

Looks good to me. Nice and clean. My only recommendation would be to watch the shadows. Maybe try shooting later during the day or think about a wireless flash setup. Just to soften the shadows.

Black & white cars I have to say are the most tricky to shoot but you have done well here. Look forward to seeing more.

I see you have a very beautiful backdrop in #6. You could have had the car on the left side of the silver SUV to capture the background - while the angle of the sun will light the car nicely.

Next time I'll make sure to shoot mid day so the shadows wont be so harsh. And also hold off on the photoshoot until its a Sunday when I know there will be no cars to ruin the background.

Thanks for the great comments guys!

Nice ones, especially #2. Watch out for the lights growing out of the roof in #5.
By chance are those taken in Santa Rosa? That place looks familiar...
