Shooting cars

Ideal photography of my car

Photographing cars is not difficult but not easy. You need to know each car photographed separately. For example, for each brand you have to highlight the car's logo.

Which camera fits?

In principle, any camera is good, but for better results in photography you must have a minimum budget of 500 euros for a new camera. It is good to have some accessories such as photo filters or high quality lenses. The photo flash usually spoils the photo but you can use the blind.

Picture settings.

It is good to photograph the cars in raw format in order to benefit from the maximum quality of the photos. It is also good to photograph cars with the aperture as dark as possible to have as much clarity as possible. Adequate exposure times are used for panning, but in order to freeze the picture, exposure times must be as short as possible. If you use a compact camera, set the zoom as close as possible so as not to distort the picture.

Photo accessories

It is recommended to use the tripod in order not to have moving pictures and to have as much clarity as possible. Polarization filter to eliminate reflections. Blend to control the light. Photo lenses from 80mm upwards so as not to distort the image. For shooting the car on the inside, lens as wide as possible to capture as much as possible but also images from as many frames as possible

5 car shooting tips:

choose a pleasant landscape - you will probably have to travel longer but surely the photo will be more pleasant
choose the right camera - it does not mean that the most expensive camera is the best choice
the photographer takes the picture not the camera- the camera is just a tool but the intelligence belongs to the photographer
choose a good photo assistant - choosing a photographer assistant is the best choice
the photographer makes the photo settings - don't let others influence you. As a photographer, you do the work, not others.
