I frequently get emails asking me for advice on how to take better car photos, or asking to critique peoples shots, and I've always felt that I should try to put together a piece to answer the most frequently asked questions, so this is my attempt at that. Its primarily aimed at beginners, but some photographers who are looking to improve or get to the next level might find some food for thought here.
