TheBigDog Goldmember More info | Mar 18, 2010 19:35 | #6 I don't know much about car photography so take it with a grain of salt, but the first thing that catches my eye in the shots of the front are the streaks on the windshield. I'm sure you could clone them out easy, or I could just be nitpicking... Christian

dap325 Member 214 posts Joined Nov 2009 Location: Albany, NY More info | Very nice Cobra... What really distracts me in the frontal shots is that license plate holder with no plate. At first I thought the plate was taken off to save from having to blur it in PS, but the next pic shows the rear plate. IDK if Cali requires a front plate as NY does, but for the next photo shoot take it off and clone out any mounting holes... it would make that front bumper really pop and focus your eyes on that huge intercooler

The owner didnt take it off b/c there was holes in the bumper. But I think he is getting it removed and repaired. 5D Mark II / 24-105mm L / 430EX II

Unless you have something interesting above or below the car, or the car stretches top to bottom of the frame (think high angle shot), take the shot in landscape mode
