Thanks guys! Just put a new one online. It's a fully black and white shoot this time of the Opel (Vauxhall) Astra OPC (VXR) Nurburgring Edition.' http://www.luukvankaathoven.nl/astraopcnb.php

You can add me to msn: luukyday[at]hotmail.com ;)

Nikon is allways good! :thumbsup: Lol, but the D40 is a great dSLR to start with. But if you haven't yet, i would recomend to shoot with your present own, or your parents camera. Just play around a bit, and look on the internet for photograph-websites. You can get a lot on inspiration on websites like http://www.flickr.com .

What kind of tips are you aiming for? :D

Hey guys! I wanted to show you my last two automotive photoshoots. At first, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 for the dutch car-test website www.autogetest.nl : http://luukvankaathoven.nl/cherokeesrt8.php And the Volvo XC60, I also did for that same website: http://luukvankaathoven.nl/xc60.php Comments are more than welcome! :)

It's three posts above you :D http://luukvankaathoven.nl/focusst.php

Thanks, mate! I started automotive photography about two years ago. I had the luck that i knew someone with an Opel Speedster Turbo. So that one went first, and i actually liked it. The combination of photography, and my passion cars seemed to match perfectly. Nowadays i'm photographer for a Dutch car testing website called: AutoGetest.nl. The cars i have to photograph for them go from a Toyota Aygo, to the Alfa 8C Competizione. I think i can say that i'm rather lucky with that unpayed 'job'. But i'd suggest you to first try to photograph your own/dad's car, on a location of wich you think matches the car. Then you can try to make contact with owners of exotic cars. As example: You have person in your neighbourhood who has a Lamborghini. 1. Ding dong :p 2. Explain what you've been doing with automotive photography 3. Explain that you'd like to do a photoshoot with the Lambo, if possible. 4. If the owner agrees, cool. If not, no problem. It isn't the own Lamborghini in this world :). I hope i've helped you a bit, good luck :cool:
