Why are there so few car photographs?

[RenesisEvo]

At the Santa Pod Sunday Service, I got a few photos I am particularly satisfied with, hopefully worthy of inclusion in this thread:

Lotus S3 Exige S by M Banham, on Flickr

Nice use of the puddles

I got lucky with this, taking a photo through a section of the old Berlin wall, when this pulled up.

That's very cool.

Two very different forms of 600bhp.

Love these kinds of shots, but I've no idea how to achieve it. Great photos.

All i did i use a DoF preview button on my 7D and adjust the aperture and shutter until i had the required result

[RenesisEvo]

Thanks - not sure if my 600d has DoF preview*. What I still don't quite understand is the lighting - how everything is black except what you were focusing on (similar to the gearknob shot adjacent in the album). I love that sense of focus and isolation with close-ups.

• EDIT: Yes it does, just had a play with it with my 50mm f1.8.

Grangemouth refinery was flaring so swung by on the way home for a photo. Forgot my flash gun to illuminate the car though!

You don't think that's real right?

Your shoots look like computer game stills these days and I mean that as a large compliment!

Shot this a few years but needed a re-edit!

Thanks Robbie - just trying to make the work stand out and trying new things! Not to everyones tastes but I enjoy working on them and they make decent posters
