Hi Dave. Fancy seeing you here! Isn't everyone who frequents the evo forum into photography? There certainly seems to be a lot of photography experts on there, anyways... ;)

I haven't got any shots of my rig, unfortunately (it's constantly undergoing modification anyway), but it's nothing special, just the usual combination of suckers, Superclamps and aluminium tubing. The rigshots.com.au link covers the whole process nicely.

I'd suggest having a trial run of the kind of shots you're thinking of trying with a more ordinary car first so you can learn from your mistakes there before you get to the Ferrari. And definitely take a look at the shots in a few car mags. Think about the shoot location, the height of the...

It's got to be this one for me: Large Everything came out exactly how I hoped. Only slightly better. And when does that ever happen?

I had the same problem with pics from my Olympus E-410. I found a cure, though: I bought a Nikon. ;) I seem to recall that if you click on the words you can delete them, or there's a checkbox when you're viewing full-screen that you can uncheck to make these words disappear. Not a proper...

Cheers for the comments, guys. Keep 'em coming. Point taken about the distant bank in #2. It may have looked uneven but actually it was the bank coming closer to the camera on the right-hand side of the pic; the image was level - I even popped a spirit level in the hotshoe to check it wasn't...

A pair of Audis I've added to my Flickr photostream recently. Comments welcome. 1. Audi S5 Cabriolet (large version) 2. Audi TT RS Roadster (large version) 3. Audi TT RS Roadster again (large version)

As Andybilly said, surely black is the colour of choice because it's less likely to show up reflected in whatever you're shooting. Particularly handy for close-up work, I'd imagine.

Another vote for dusk from the 'Top of the Rock' at the Rockefeller Center - not to be missed. A mini tripod/Gorillapod/beanbag will be handy for the long exposure, although you can just stand your camera on the top of the wall. The neons of the Radio City Music Hall (just round the corner)...

Fair point on the Aston shot. It actually works better when viewed large (probably larger than you can on Flickr even) because there's a small sapling to the left of the car which balances the image; it's completely lost on these smaller versions, though.

Finally got my Flickr account properly populated so that I can share some pics with you. It's all car stuff; a few of the shots you may have seen before, but most of it is previously unreleased material. Here are a few tasters - comments and criticism welcomed. Click here to see more and/or...

I had the same problem with a new cloth. A good wash got all the loose fibres off; now it works a treat.

For lighting, a makeshift light tent should help you get professional-quality results. A darkened room, a cheap white sheet and a couple of halogen desk lamps should be all you need... Arrange the sheet over (as much as possible), behind and on either side of the area where your book will...
