There are cameras all over the place that take pretty pictures of your car! There is a photography fee though, and they use some funny points system too.
The West Gate should give some OK shots of the city + your car in transit ;) ;) |

I agree with niko, with a overcast day you get less reflections and less sun reflections bouncing back at the camera. Darker coloured cars always look darker too

Once the new years caper is over, are some of the SA boys keen to find somewhere nice to go get some good photos of their machines? I know of some nice places up Gorge road but if others have some ideas im sure we can make a day of it.

as said, overcast days or dawn and dusk are the best for the most of us camera noobies without all the filters and other gear.
"The light is at its most dramatic. It lacks the harsh contrasts of midday sun. Lower light can be used to evoke a special mood and feel" Find a nice spot and take a picture in the late arvo and it will look 100% better than when the sun has over exposed the car on some panels
