Photo Tips

The better quality of pictures you send us, the better your showboard will print.
We highly recommend having a professional photographer take your pictures. But, if you have a good digital camera and adhere to the following tips you can get the same fantastic results. An eight mega pixel camera set to its highest settings should work great. Get as much of the car in the frame as possible. We can correct a lot of image problems but a well composed picture is hard to beat.

Background and reflections: Many things cause reflections that can be very difficult to deal with. For the best results shoot on a cloudy day or just before sunset or after sunrise. Sun glare is a picture killer. Do not take your pictures on grass or you will see grass reflection in the paint and chrome for sure. Do not park under a tree.

Good Angles:
Be creative. Use a ladder to get high angle shots, lay down on the ground, stand at an angle. Take close-ups of interesting or special features like emblems, grills, interior doo dads, wheels and trim pieces.

Wash and prep your car:
Shine it up, scrub the tire side walls and thoroughly clean the windows.

Special effects:
Try turning on your park lights and/or headlights. This can have a dramatic effect in some pictures.
Using hot models is another eye catching effect, but use a beautiful model to show off your equally beautiful ride.
