I love cars. And I love photography. However, I'm having a hard time combining them. I just cant seem to get my composition right.


My friend and I got bored tonight and decided to go do a quick photo shoot just as the sun was setting. We didn't have too much time, so I wasnt expecting anything great, but they turned out a little worse then expected. Really, I only came home with one shot that I actually liked, and that was pretty much because the whole car wasnt in the photo


Both were taken with a 50D with the EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS attached





This is the one I actually like. 105mm f/5.6 1/200 sec ISO 250

Dont mind the nasty trees in the background. We didnt have much time and I was just wanting to practice car-camera composition (I put a saturation layer on the background to help hide the distracting trees).


I cant seem to get that "power" feel of the car through the picture. (I didn't think the rear shot below was too bad, but I am definitely disappointed with the front shot). Tips on better camera angles etc would be greatly appreciated


44mm f/5.6 1/60 sec ISO 100
