Cars have never really been amongst my hobbies, but beholding them in your photos is a pleasure, Linda. You have to get someone to take a photo of you posing in the front seat of one of those, one day... in a leather jacket and with sunglasses :P

Location
I like to attend car shows later in the day to get cleaner photos of the classic cars that I love. That's the case here as well. This photo is taken in Falköping, Sweden 2018 about one hour before closing. It's at an airport so the surroundings are clean and free from clutter.Time
Probably around 1 or 2 pm (13-14 European hrs)Lighting
I was lucky to have a light overcast to make the photo more dramatic. That's what I prefer when photographing cars. Sure, blue skies are nice but this is better. The color and light is so much more even and brings out the best of the vehicle.Equipment
Nikon D750 24-70mm nikkor, circular polarizer filter and it was handheld.Inspiration
The light, the angle, the vehicle itself as I love classic cars.Editing
Yes, I have added HDR to it.In my camera bag
Nikon D7200, D750, nikkor lenses from 10 mm to 500mm SB700 flash, tripods, remote etc.Feedback
Go to a car show with scenic surroundings, visit later in the day when there aren't as many cars and people anymore. You might not get the same kind of selection of makes but I usually bring home loads of beautiful shots regardless. Think about the angles when photographing cars. Low to the ground and with a slight side angle usually bring out the best of your object.
