EXAMPLE: endz7 car photos

And now time for a little something different.

Car photos!
In my opinion, a lot of photographic fundamentals are required to come together in car photography, because it's really, really, really easy to make boring, unflattering, or otherwise uninspiring shots of even the most beautiful vehicle. Background selection, lighting, and composition are a few key elements of a good car photo and can make or break a photo.

The Flickr user whose link I've posted above is, in my opinion, has a pretty good collection of work- most of which is of what I'm assuming is his own car (that I wish were my own, but that's another story), a white Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X (whew. What a mouthful. Also, that's a 10, not the letter "x")

Below are a few samples. Do note the use of the hipster-vintage-faded effect.
