You may remember that I upgraded my 456 for this 328 a few months ago. Up until last night I never got around to take any photos so decided too last night with the sunset. I had left a lot of my gear at the office/studio so had to make do lighting wise with what I had (2 off camera speedlights). Although a pro photographer i have never attempted anything like this before and really enjoyed it. The only problem is quickly diminishing light. I would like to find a better location next time and also light the interior.

Hello wineman02. Why do you consider it an "upgrade" to go from a 456 to a 328? Are they not 2 very different cars? Just interested in your thoughts.

Audi - A financial upgrade as it was another £13k or something smile

I only decided to take the photos late yesterday afternoon and this is the only place I could think of near me in Kent that I could park the car and get the sunset in. It is pretty much a single track country road. If anyone has any location suggestion for the future I would love to hear them please.

I agree, but coming from you has a bit more credibility! They seem to emphasise the front overhang and what is seen to be the worst aspect of the 328 styling wise - the front grille.

Thats ok. They are for me, by me and I like them so that is all that counts smile

I really enjoyed taking the shots actually - so different from shooting people which I have done enabling me (along with publishing books on photography for professionals) to afford such a car.

Whineman, sorry to jump the thread but how do you find the 328? I am in the position that I can now change my car (albeit I wont until next spring due to mine will need a cambelt service which I would do prior to selling)

I've always likes the 308/328 generation but was thinking 355 as a natural progression. However at Sherbourne Castle this weekend there was a 328 and 355 parked together, and even though the 355 I think is better looking.... the 328 was the one I kept looking at and thinking maybe I should.

I will drive both nearer the time but interested in your experience of the car and how you find it

The simplest thing I found to making a car shot look better was to turn the wheels to face the camera. Makes a world of difference.

Also, being on that slight hump emphasises the gap under the car.

Totally agree that it is far from the idea location, but trying to find a place at the last minute on a quiet road where you can capture the sunset is far more difficult that you would think. Especially where I am. I think the key now is to scout out other potential sites and see how they manifest themselves.

I had the wheels turned in a bit, but as it was a night shot when I did it much more I lost the alloys so elected for a compromise.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. Wheels turned so the face is facing the camera, like this:
