Car of the Month Photo Submissions

[Little Ice-Cable]

1996 4.6 SOHC

I've had it for 2 years, it is a sole daily driver

Modifications: nothing performance (yet), custom front bumper, spoiler, whole repaint in a different baby blue color.

Looks really nice. For angled pictures like that, turn the wheel so we see the face of the front wheel rather than the tread depth. Makes the pic looks nicer.

But he's showing you the tires are like new... That's adds to the value.

Car (and in most cases, everything else) photography 101:

Photography is about light.
Vertical light is bad - it is harsh, casts shadows, and washes out colors with intense contrast.
Horizontal light is good - find this 1-2 hours before sunset.
Take photos with the light source behind you.

For cars, take photos at waist height, and experiment above and below. "Top down" shots rarely do a vehicle justice.

Quartering shots often look best. When taking shots of either side of the car, turn the wheels away from the camera to expose the rim, not the treads, to the camera (as was said).

Good luck...
