Too much sunshine, and don't be afraid to wear bad clothes so you can lay on the ground.

I like to try to always have the rims facing the camera.

You're tall enough that the higher shots are easy, but shooting from your waist height is boring.

Natural lighting is the best lighting it was extremely bright out tho

I wasn't really ready to shoot yesterday and I have trouble getting on the ground with my bad knee right now.. on top of that his car is pretty ugly if you see under the bumpers lol

lol yeah, not sure if I wanted to post that one here or not, I figured a mod could just let me know if it's not okay

He's pretty cool, he was just messing around in that pic, he's actually been a pretty good friend of mine for 5-6 years new

Thanks! I agree, the parking ramp ones didn't have the overload of light coming in and a couple I was able to use a flash to offset the natural light and it really came off as a good effect.

Yes it is, this was his first turbo build:

I know natural lighting is best, but shooting right when the sun is rising or setting is the best time of the day.
