I find that some cars have obvious angles that beg to be shot, whereas with some i wander around the thing for a fair while trying to make a decision about what angle to take.

I also find that the colour of the vehicle makes a big difference.

Anyone else feel the same?

I think the hardest car ive done so far is the morgan aero 8.

Also, here are a few of my snaps from the weekend:

flipflogriff's car is a tricky one to get right for the colour. In pics it looks plain white but its actually got a yellow peal effect which looks brilliant up close.

The reason the Aero 8 is dificult to photograph is because it's so fg ugly

IMHO anyway

Like the first one of the Lotus though

Am I the only one who thinks the Aero 8 looks stunning?

stunning is right word Brian. It all depends on your outlook as to if that stunning is a good thing or not

Peronally, I like it bar that nose.

Alf Essex's Tuscan...

Pies has some good efforts, but admits that he's not quite got it right just yet.



It's the fancy paint job y'see...

Hardest car to photograph? Probably a D.I. edition dark blue Vectra because it's hard to make it look anything other than dull. Same goes for Xsara / Carina etc....

Nope i love it

Just a shame the interior space is miniscule so my 6ft2 frame won't really fit

I quite like the Aero 8. Its refreshingly different, but from some angles it looks pretty crap, to use a technical term.

Ugliest car in the world goes to new bmw x3. New 5 and seven series are both ugly too. I dont know what that Bangle chump thinks hes upto.

Also, ford Ka looks like a jellyfish wearing a bike helmet, and sounds like a skeleton tugging one off in a filing cabinet.

Whispering it quietly

I DO LIKE THE 5 SERIES

Looks really different, and I think it will age well!
