How To Set Up Your Camera For Car Photos

What Camera to use:

Any camera can be used for car photos but the ones I find to work the best are dslr cameras. You can find these cameras at pretty much any store but best buy target or sometimes walmart are probably your best bet. They range in price and depending on your budget most any dslr camera will work great. I typically go with Canon or Nikon, I find these cameras tend to work great and are very begineer friendly.

What Camera Settings to use:

The best thing to do when beginning is to put the camera on automatic. This presets all of the settings for you and really just makes it easier. If you want you can mess with the aperature settings or make it focus on certain spots more. But other than that I would keep the settings on automatic so you do not get too confused. If you want to you can mess with the brightness and the the other simple settings as well. When I take car photos I find that if you are not looking for anything to advanced you can simply just use the automatic mode. Most of the other setting will not change much unless you have moved on from the begginer stage of car photography.

Clean The Lens:

Make sure that the lens is clean, if your lens is dirty this can cause you to not get the picture turnout that you want and it could mess with your pictures. It could make the pictures look like they have a wierd glare or simply just not be able to really see the picture if you have a dirty or scratched lens. After you have completed these steps you are pretty much ready to rock and roll and start taking your car photos. The lens is one of the most important parts of taking pictures as it can change the way everything looks in just one swap of a lens.
