got some new wheels for the car, so obviously had to take it to the wash and take a pic or two. just made do with shooting in the middle of the day, found some shade. probably could have dried the car properly before taking pics as well. still, i kinda like this one

I like this shot, as well. I like the composition with the car juxtaposed against the yellow . . . . . . whatever. I also like the use of shade to bring out the shine, gloss, creases and contours of the car's sheet metal - things that can be hard to discern on a white car in bright sun. I also appreciate the illuminated angel eyes.

Those wheels look terrific.

thanks so much. definitely going to try to get some rolling shots with it this year. I agree it's tricky to shoot white cars, they tend to blow highlights instantly.

I'll try a night shoot with it soon


appreciate all the kind words
