PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
-- Think creatively when taking photographs of your vehicle. -- The photos you submit have the opportunity to be selected for the calendar. -- Try shooting from different angles to showcase the special features. -- Crop the photo to allow the entire vehicle in the picture. For example, do not cut off the back wheel of the truck or the front fender of the car. -- If shooting outdoors, remember that clear, sunny days allow for the best photos. Keep the sun behind you when taking a photo for a clear and vibrant picture. -- Be aware of your surroundings. Make sure to clean around your vehicle, so there will not be anything to reflect in the shiny surfaces of the paint and chrome. -- Select scenery that you would want to see in a car calendar.
