What is the best angle to take a photo of your car from?

I have tried out lots of different angles but reckon these are the best




Front view, head on, get away from the car then use a long lens to zoom in. If you get to close the car becomes distorted and doesn't look good in my opinion




Car at an angle, focusing on front wing from a raised position

or from a low position





:nonod: Side on and rear angles I have found disappointing and do not do the car justice.

Square on the back works ok





or from a raised angle, especially if you have a few MGs




Large numbers of F/TF's together works well if you can get them to line up nice and neat and sit still for long enough :lol:

:yesnod: Post a photo of an angle you think works :thumbsup:

Thank for those David, some stunning back drops however that last one is a bit less MG than I was hoping for, but we'll let you off on that one :P

The first pick is a good angle, the F and TF both look very good when you get low to the ground and shoot up towards the car, this side on shot uses a similar low angle.






Not looking for the best overall photo just yet, just at which angle you think makes the car look the best.



You could go for a multi angle shot



:oops: Sorry MeetWithDamien this was my first rushed attempt at one of your signature F/TF photos

Not sure this is the best angle, but it seems the one I am most familiar with. :whistle:

Never seen that view so clearly :dry:

I need to get a set of ramps, never needed them with my 4x4 , had enough ground clearance to slide around under it without having to jack it up :lol:

Straight on,

That works for me. David you couldn't even be bothered to take a new photo, I see the electric fan window heater. :P

Cabin closeup from the rear.

Not doing anything for me this time, I reckon interiors have to be done from an open door or from a higher angle to avoid the roll hoops

Rear quarter from a higher viewpoint.

:unsure: Car looks distorted, need to get further away and use a long lens. The rear angle is a hard one to get to look good.

Classic front quarter view.

:woohoo: A true classic, just look at those curves, fantastic.


Nice photos David

Yep, well spotted,Paul. Those photos are from 'the vaults'. Still got the standard MG badges too...and no Daytona quads!
