tips on taking pictures for cars

[arcticreaver]

i'm just starting to get into the car scene. with my purchase of the 2009 370z, i've joined forums and visited after market shops and now i want to attend in some of the car shows coming up.

just wanted to see if anyone here can give me some tips with take pics of a car and how to bring out the curves and designs of the cars within a photograph.

Congrats on the purchase. I still love my Z (even if it is only a 350z)

A lot of processing, but maybe you can get some composition ideas.

i went on that thread but i have a question - have those pictures been modified by photoshop or something or are these pictures straight from the camera?

They've been processed quite a bit (as I said in my last post). I was thinking it would help with composition mostly.
