How to photograph cars!?

[RePete]

In photoshop I cut out the car and pasted it over a picture of Down-town Lima and by using layer masks, made the car look like it is coming out of the picture and help from this tutorial on flickr.....




Not trying to brag, but here is the finished version....

Thanks RePete, unfortunately I don't have photo shop I use Aperture 3.

I had a few lessons at tafe on photo shop and just couldn't quite get it.tafe

I've never used Aperture, but you should be able to come up with something close. Keep playing with it.

here are a few examples of a car show I did last summer.

I like to capture small details in the cars. look for unique shapes and focus on that, try angles you don't usually see the car from, in this instance i layed on the ground with my camera and took shots from different distances and angles, the one i posted was my favorite.

I'm a newbie on here, but been interested in photography a while and always looking to improve my results, so comments welcome.

the hard part in photographing a car is finding a unique angle to make the photograph stand out
