[QUOTE="AConfire, post: 702738, member: 53775"] A bit late, but here goes... If there are any valley roads/highways where you can park on the side, definitely go there. When the valley is behind you, and the sun is setting, the lighting is brilliant and can offer beautiful results. Take the DSLR, and shoot RAW. You'll need a RAW conversion software, like Adobe Camera RAW (plug-in for photoshop/bridge)... Make sure you show the curves in the car. Try many many many different angles and perspectives. Show the unique and mysterious look through the cars front, side, and back. Turn the wheels to get a nice angle of the rims, while having the car faced diagonal from your camera... Just shoot as much as possible. I think you'll be using the 14-45mm most of the time. But take the other lenses as well. You might not even need to use the flash. If you see shadows around the image taken with natural light, pop open the flash and shoot a slow-sync shot, so that your exposure is still based for the natural light, but the flash is only firing to fill the shadows. That can offer some nice results if you need the flash for shadows. Choose a nice spot to take the shots. Valley's can work wonders, but any type of curved road is great. If you can, ask your friend(s) to drive the car on a fairly isolated and lone road, while you stand on the side panning with them. These offer great results as well. Another option is to sit in one of your friends car, while driving next to or slightly in front your other friends car, and leaning out the window going to same speed as the other car, taking a shot at around 1/3 or 1/5 of a second shutter. Maybe even slightly faster. This will give a great result too. Keep in mind the location, and stay safe ;) My last piece of advice, for now, is to view car photographs from car manufacturers like Lotus, Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati, BMW, Bentley, and so forth, and remember the compositions of the shots you liked best. Some of the greatest compositions are from previously taken photographs. Good luck and have fun! Remember to show us your results. Best, -AC [/QUOTE]
