Favourite Places To Take Shots Of Cars

Featured Replies

Hi all

I have read through many of the threads in this section and something that may be of use to all those getting into auto photography is to think about the location as much as the subject.

Lots of photo's would look even better if the location was planned/better, you know what I mean?

I realise that most of us take shots just after we have washed our cars (in the driveway) but there are loads of great places to better highlight your ride.

SO....feel free to enlighten us as to your favourite places to take photo's of your car.

When I lived in Toowoomba I had three places I always went back to.

An old alley way with really well coloured brick etc (my old lancer)

And behind K-Mart

The multi-level car park at the local shopping center on a sunday was also sweet

I think any places where there is a bit of trees - always gives a good reflection on the car. Just some pics i took yesterday (from my other post) -
