My car (Mazda 3) · 01:38 AM

Lots of magazines offer good advice about taking photos of cars. After reading several different articles I decided it was time to shoot one myself. I was quite pleased how it turned out. This is my last shot of the day; I only did ~15 and decided to 'shoot one more, maybe from a different angle'...

Any comments?

HDR? The colours and tones are really wicked.

Not an HDR. Some (not much!) added contrast while post-processing this from RAW to JPEG...

nice job!!

I like!

The subject really pops & the sky is exciting looking without being too distracting - prolly 'cause the car is so prominent. Nicely done! A little fill flash might have added some stunning detail.

Nice...I'll definitely be taking my DA 14mm w/ polarizer to car shows now. I like the way the car "pops" out at you.
