7 tips for taking better pictures of cars

A post by: Desmond LouwPPTaking photos of cars is such an interesting thing on her own. It’s like science. Every time I shoot I learn something of a car! I would like some general guidelines to get you started and help you understand this interesting niche in the photography world./PPSTRONG7 tips for taking better pictures of cars/STRONG/PPThis is by far the most common mistake people make when shooting cars. The best time to shoot will be a few minutes after sunset (or a few minutes before sunrise). Use a tripod and get that perfect soft light on the paint! This photo was taken for TopGear a few minutes before sunrise./PPIMG title=”car-photography-BMW-M135i.jpg” border=”0″ alt=”Car photography BMW M135i” src=”http://www.photo-natural.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wpid-car-photography-BMW-M135i.jpg” width=”600″ height=”340″/PPYou have to be very careful of what reflects in the car. Take a look around you and look closely at the car and see what reflects on the surface. A car (especially a new shiny transaction) is like a mirror. Try and have an open space behind you as a field. Try to avoid shooting with buildings or trees behind you. one of the most important things that you want to display in your car photographs are the design lines of the car, or as I like to call it, ‘ her curves ‘. Reflections can spoil these curves./PPAlso be very careful not to your own reflection in the photo. If you own reflection cannot be avoided are best to the camera on a tripod, set the timer and moved out of the shot. Just look at this picture I took of a dark shiny BMW 428i, behind me was nothing, apart from the horizon. You can clearly see the horizon reflect in the car./PPIMG title=”car-photography-tips-BMW428i.jpg” border=”0″ alt=”Car photography tips BMW428i” src=”http://www.photo-natural.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wpid-car-photography-tips-BMW428i.jpg” width=”600″ height=”439″/PPA very easy way to get a cool image, is to shoot the car from another moving car. (Please be super careful when you do this!)
