If my car didn't look like it'd spent time stuck in a river, a mudhole, had a small engine fire, covered in small dents mostly from a hi lift jack, and really dirty...I might be more inclined to photograph it in a "pretty" way. I'd like to shoot cars sometime though!

i took a couple of pics of my car - but it's definitely not a regular thing for me. i find that it's hard to find a cool place to shoot a car around here. my attempts usually look like snapshots.

anywa, here are two pics of my rx8:

haha ive been waiting to see if someone was going to post pictures like this. Because in the automotive world, not to stereotype it or anythin, but models and cars usually come side by side. thats just my own opinion.. But hey. that was a nice shot! hhmm looked thru your site.. and found this.. Real amazing!

I'm using the 300D. I think for that shot I was using my 50mm f1.8 - but I don't totally remember. :)

And thanks - I love my car.
