Best angle to Photo an F/TF?
I have tried out lots of different angles but reckon these are the best
Front view, head on, get away from the car then use a long lens to zoom in. If you get to close the car becomes distorted and doesn't look good in my opinion
Car at an angle, focusing on front wing from a raised position
or from a low position
:nonod: Side on and rear angles I have found disappointing and do not do the car justice.
Square on the back works ok
or from a raised angle, especially if you have a few MGs
Large numbers of F/TF's together works well if you can get them to line up nice and neat and sit still for long enough :lol:
:yesnod: Post a photo of an angle you think works :thumbsup:

The first pick is a good angle, the F and TF both look very good when you get low to the ground and shoot up towards the car, this side on shot uses a similar low angle.
Not looking for the best overall photo just yet, just at which angle you think makes the car look the best.
You could go for a multi angle shot
:oops: Sorry MeetWithDamien this was my first rushed attempt at one of your signature F/TF photos

I need to get a set of ramps, never needed them with my 4x4 , had enough ground clearance to slide around under it without having to jack it up :lol:

Straight on,
That works for me. David you couldn't even be bothered to take a new photo, I see the electric fan window heater.
Cabin closeup from the rear.
Not doing anything for me this time, I reckon interiors have to be done from an open door or from a higher angle to avoid the roll hoops
Rear quarter from a higher viewpoint.
Car looks distorted, need to get further away and use a long lens. The rear angle is a hard one to get to look good.
Classic front quarter view.
:woohoo: A true classic, just look at those curves, fantastic.
Nice photos David
