remember you always want to be inbetween the subject (aka your car) and the sun. if the sun is your picture is will be to bright, with a bright glare and willl looked washed out. also slightly tilted pics seem more "exciting" than just a plain straight front shot.

Rep Power: 334 The best advice I could give you is to find nice backgrounds... That will make all the difference... Here are a couple of pics my little brother took.. He is a genious when it comes to taking pics...

Rep Power: 307 If you're really wanting some high qual pics. . . find an SLR 35mm camera. . . and attach a polarizing filter to it. You can virtually eliminate all glare and bring out more color in the picture than you thought possible. 
(That reminds me, I should dig mine out and do some pics while the weather is sunny up here)

Rep Power: 334 Damn man.... Well about my backgrounds that is the usual thing around here seeing that I dont live in a big city... But like some shots with a nice building or highway background... You just need to use your imagination man..

Rep Power: 0 Just find a good spot that will make a nice background and make sure it is pretty sunny. But not like right at the time when the sun is directly over tip. In my pics it was sunny but a storm was starting to come up so it made everything turn out dark. 75shot, it just doesn't seem like our cars (nbp) take very good pics. Everything always seems too dark to me and not detailed enough
