Any thought?
I don't do automotive photography but I tried to get my feet wet. What do you think?

Vintage Lenses
I thought I would try out my 50 year old lenses: Canon FD 50mm f/1.5 SSC and Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 on my Canon R5 with the use of the appropriate adapter.

I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

Pretty good for a beginner!
There are alot of trees reflected in the side of the car, by moving a few feet this way or that you can have the sky reflect in the car and it would be a cleaner look.
If you are new to shooting cars I suggest that you go to a parking lot like in this shot, with an open sky about a half hour before sunset. Then just walk around the car. Do a 360 every 5 or 10 minutes. Maybe take some pics every 60 or 90 degrees but just look at how the light reflects in the car. Kneel down to get a worms eye view to see how the horizon line changes. Shoot from high up.
There will be dramatic differences in how the car looks on the sun side and on the shady side.
A polarizing filter can cut down the parking lot lines reflected in the car.
IMO the lens is a little wide making the front look big.
thank you for the advice!! next time ill allow myself more time to shoot. it was a last minute shoot as my friend and I stoped to use the bathroom and he asked me to shoot his car so I got my camera and took some shot and this was the one I liked. ill be sure to bring my polarizing filter and try to use different focal lengths. ill keep this in my notes for next time.
