First one is fantastic with its colors.
Wouldn't the second have benefited from moving the POV a tiny bit to the right? Both for the front and rear that overlap with background.

Some of the shots in this thread are amazing, just like the subjects. I'm not exactly creative when it comes to photographing cars, but I'd like to think that my shots are at least presentable. Here are my favorites:


BMW Z4 in the snow by Steini DJ, on Flickr


Nissan XTerra 2007 by Steini DJ, on Flickr

A co-worker was selling this car so I took a few shots of it for him. It's a slightly modified Nissan XTerra he used for hunting.


1986 BMW 635Csi by Steini DJ, on Flickr

My fathers mint BMW 6-series. He needs that license plate to remind him which car it is, I guess. I really enjoy the color set in this photo, but I would've liked to see less glare on the front wheels.


E39 M5 by Steini DJ, on Flickr

E39 M5, taken in the same spot as the 6-series. Different boat though.


BBS LM by Steini DJ, on Flickr

I was trying out a technique to photograph wheels in this shot and the next. I have since then done off with the horrible water marks. Honestly don't care at this point if someone thinks my photographs are decent enough to be stolen.

Take a look at your white balance.. snow should be white, not blue. Even the white parts on the license plate have a blue cast to them.

I appreciate the input, thanks. I was experimenting with setting the white balance manually, but I made a poor job of it. I'll rework it in lightroom and update the photo.

It can be tricky because you get into a "that's how it looked when I was there!" frame of thinking especially if you're shooting with the sun low in the sky. Snow in shadow does tend to have a blue cast to it.

But in photos, it seems like pure white snow always ends up looking better because that's what most of us expect to see.

Would you capture it...

I took the new car out for a quick shoot Saturday,we got there late so light started running low, and some of the pics were a bit out of focus, but I had a few that were ok.

There is an importer in Tacoma, WA area that you can order one from for somewhere between $43-45k. What what I've heard the price is the same in California except the models that go there are de-tuned to around 80bhp

It's an S&S Harley-compatible engine so I'm pretty sure that anyone who buys one takes it to any Harley dealer for re-tuning.

Always. It makes a massive difference in the end result.

I have much less experience than most of these guys, but no, I don't use a polarizing filter unless it's an extremely bright sunny day.

I got my windows tinted and wanted to another shoot of the new wrx last week. I'm happy with some of these but ran into to tech issues and the sun didn't really want to wait around, so I ran low on light again. Also the area was more cramped than I expected and the backgrounds more challenging. I also see some places where I could probably composite 2 photos with my cpl rotated.
