A friend and I went to a parkade about a year and a half ago when I was first learning photography to do a shoot with his car. I was fairly dissapointed with the results, partially because i was using a tripod and SR was on
, and partially because the lighting conditions were crummy and I was just in the infancy of learning. I have not tried to shoot any cars since, but am still very much interested. What are some general pointers when shooting cars. I was thinking on using the DA 10-17 and DA* 50-135 for future shots. Would these lenses be appropriate? Maybe the DA 18-55 for some wide angles? Some car shooting "rules" I know about from other articles are things like: 1) Don't shoot a car when it's on grass, as this is not the car's "natural habitat." 2) don't shoot a car's 1/4 frontal or rear view with only 3 wheels visible, as this makes the car look like it only has 3 wheels
Any other tips anyone can give me?
