Shooting Old Cars

First try at photographing an old car for my portfolio. I want to start doing more of these for some of the local clubs, since there are no photographers in the area.

Reflections? What refections? 

Thanks, John.

It was at a Classic car show in the oldest wooden structure in the US, an old blimp hanger! The lighting is all over the place. The huge hanger door was open, there are all those lights overhead along the interior of the hanger. There were sooooooooo many people around that it was "shoot quick" when no one is in the frame situation, haha. But I have written down your suggestions for when I do it for someone. Thanks!

I have been in that hanger and it is dark.  The car def needs more light.  My personal opinion is that classic cars should be well lit to show off the paint and chrome that makes the car.  Now if this had been a beater or "rat rod" as they are called dark would work.

Cool cars, nicely done

What I've done when I wanted a photo of a car I really like is asked the owner if he/she would move it over to the corner so I could get a photo of it without any people in the shot and I offer to send them a copy via e-mail that they could use to print out a 4x6 or put in their online album.

A "beater" that can probably out run a V8 Mustang
