Location
This photo was taken at the Plymouth Municipal Airport in Plymouth, MA at a car/helicopter show called Cars and Copters.Time
I believe this was around 1pmLighting
Lighting was a little harsh since it was mid day with overhead lighting.Equipment
This was shot on a Nikon D7000 handheld with a Tamron 17-55mm f2.8 lens.Inspiration
I love cars! This McLaren was so gorgeous I had to take a photo. As I walked close the car, while checking out the exhaust, my eye caught the emblem. I thought "perfect photo opportunity".Editing
I try and keep my post processing low. I try and get it best "in camera". For this photo post processing included adjusting contrast, vividness, and sharpness a touch all within reason just to make the photo "pop" a littleIn my camera bag

When photographing autos most people shoot the whole vehicle. They grab a few shots around the car. While this can get some good shots its mostly hit or miss. To almost guarantee good shots of vehicles be sure to take photos from different vantage points. Such as down low to the ground or up high on a monopod/standing on chair. And dont forget that detail shots of cars are usually the best. Dont be afraid to take a photo of a detail that intrigues you. If it intrigues you, chances are it will intrigue others.
