Re: Photographing Cars

A close buddy of mine has just bought a new car and has asked me if I can
take some photos. I agreed, but to be honest, car's are something I have
not really shot much before, so I am a bit in new territory. Still, I
think that it will be interesting to shoot something totally different and
a good learning experience.

This is a 'bit off the wall' but if you have broadband try downloading an
episode of the BBC series 'Top Gear'. They do reviews of sports and high-end
cars at a race track / airfield and some of the photography is amazing - a
mixture of fast video editing and still shots. You might be able to pick up
some ideas from this, but even if not it is a very entertaining show!
