Amazing spot, I agree with you on that it looks lovely in red. I’ve recently found a Nikon camera my parents used a few years ago and was wondering if you had any tips on car photos as your photos are very nice and you have a Nikon too. Thanks for any advice

@Snekily1 so, depends what camera it is,if it's a DSLR,so something like a D3000 or so I recommend to put it in sports mode for taking pictures of cars on the move (it's the symbol with the running person), because you get clear shots. For taking pictures of parked cars either sports mode or Landscape mode (the mode the picture of Landscape on it) are good,I've never tried portrait mode but I might. For night shots I recommend again sports mode for cars on the move but then take more time in preparing the pictures,but obviously don't use a flash. Taking pictures of parked cars in the dark I personally don't use a flash but one can do that to try and lighten it. A high a aperture is also always good. I hope that helps. Thanks for the compliments on my shots

@ST22HTV The camera I have is a Nikon D60, which I’m pretty sure is a DSLR camera. I’ll try taking the photos in sports mode, thanks for the tip, but the problem I have with it is that the camera takes photos very slowly. I’ve turned up the shutter speed which helped a bit but I’ve still averaged about 4 photos of a moving car, which should be fine, but I’d like to be able to take more. I’ll try landscape mode for parked cars, because like I said the photos you take of parked cars look nice! About the flash, I’ve personally tried to use it in low light shots, but the photos just end up looking worse (in my opinion). Anyway, thanks for the advice, and I’ll try using your tips when I next go spotting!

@Snekily1 do you press down individually for pictures or keep the shutter button down constantly? If you keep the shutter button down you should be able to get quite a lot of pictures. I am know used to my camera so I can take more time with a driving car but when I first had my camera I used the consistent shutter.

@ST22HTV Oh, didn't realise you could hold it down ?. I've been pressing it over and over again .Thanks for the tip

What a nice red! Cab looks better down, Mr. Jag owner who cares how cold it is

@ST22HTV I'm going to London in a week and I'm going to take my camera with me to take some shots and practise my photos. I'll have your tips in mind!

@ST22HTV When you take photos of a moving car, do you use manual or auto focus?
AB_Carphotography - per 23:54
@Snekily1 just from my experience with the D70 sports mode is indeed very good for moving cars. I personally wouldn't reccomend using sports mode for standing cars tho. I find myself getting sharper pictures way easier when using landscaping or anything like that.
ST22HTV - per 01:50
@Snekily1 I started with auto focus and still use it often for fast moving cars but if I can take my time I use manual
ST22HTV - per 01:51
[@Huracán LP-640-2 STO] yes, landscape is good for parked cars and of course landscape photography.
ST22HTV - per 01:53
@Snekily1 by the way,when spotting moving cars take more time to focus the pictures and also at night,if you can press down for longer before you release the shutter
AB_Carphotography - per 15:17
Yes, espacially the latter. And being steady at night is really important
Snekily1 - per 15:51
[@Huracán LP-640-2 STO] @ST22HTV Thanks for the tips guys, I’ll be sure to use them whilst spotting.

@Snekily1 good luck. Missed a Cayman GTS,911 Turbo S Cabrio and Shelby F150 Raptor in Liverpool today,I don't take my camera outside in Liverpool because I usually don't see any nice cars here but I might start doing it
AB_Carphotography - per 22:13
Yes I have, one from my home town and a couple from Essen. I went to the carshow there
ST22HTV - per 00:32
[@Huracán LP-640-2 STO] nice! Of course you can't upload from the car show. I'm probably going to the British Motorshow in Farnborough next year again and maybe I'll find some nice cars around there to (of course you can upload cars driving around the car show)
AB_Carphotography - per 09:16
Yh, I wasnt planning on uploading from inside the show ofcourse?. I do have some from outside like a couple of M3, M4, just missed my first M2 G87. Also got an R8, some mercs and audis and a Maybach. Also an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, but you'll see it in some time!
