Too funny! Great tutorial too. Thanks for sharing. I have a brother who is really into sports car racing. I'm itching to get a chance to shoot some of his races. You gave me a lot of good tips.

Thanks again!

Whoa! Talk about thread resurrection!!

Umm... the current trend is towards derelict buildings and what not.

Can't go wrong with nothing in the background... or a sea-side cliff!

Honestly, it all depends on the car and what it brings to the table. A very clean car can get away with a busy background.... on the other hand, a drift-car might not do so well in a crazy spot. Gotta really pick your spots.

Oh man, don't you just hate that!

Great tutorial, I'm definately going to try some (or all ) of these tips come summer!

This is probably the best picture of I have of a Camaro my dad and I restored.

Camaro

Camera: Canon PowerShot A630
Aperture: f/2.8
Exposure: 1/1250

The swiveling screen does help a lot when taking pictures at angles like this. This was before I got into photography, so the exposure and shutter speed were all set by camera on full auto, lol.
