I think to get into car photography professionally mate is pretty difficult, as for kit, make sure you have the best lenses you can get, I know with Canon the majority of there L lens are the place you need to be, even if the body your using is a bit older, my choice at the moment would be a 5d mkii with a 24-105, also something with a bit of a wider angel 17-50 or something like that, a 50mm and a 70-200mm is always useful to have, as for flashes off camera ones are good, but tbh in my opinion its better to use the natural light, then add flashes in very small and specific areas to hopefully make it look not to fake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I went out with a car photographer ( Si Gray ) and he said you need reasonable equipment but its mainly the composition as you can edit the rest later. As for flashes, i can only say what he used on a night shot but he had one off camera in the car and then on a long exposure walked round the car with another off camera flash setting it off to light up the full car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next buy is a flash trigger and the more powerful 600EX flash gun. I should be out there practicing but I'm just spending my weekends on my car lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve.m Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 The car got treated to an oil and filter change today as believe it or not the car has covered approx 3000 miles since being built, Dragonball helped that along. I'm heading to Japfest 2 this weekend and It looks like the weather is going to be great. Luckily the car doesn't need much cleaning other than the fly massacre on the bumper, It's been in the garage since the Banzai shoot. Still might give it a sneaky once over with the Poorboys black hole and wax! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.m Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Had a great day at Japfest 2 although I did get a little cooked with the weather. Here are some pictures of the car at the show and some scantly clad women who left dirty finger marks on the car!!
