Is it okay to have an Orlando Cepeda bobblehead on the dash?
Oh, I forgot to mention the book "How to Photograph Cars" by James Mann. It's published by Motorbooks International and it's really good. There's a section on studio photography in there for Baldy.
FWIW, I just thumbed through it again, and there isn't a single picture of a car on a lawn.

So thats how schumacher wins all those races by minutes! After he pulls a little lead, the cameras stop showing him (then i usually fall asleep), and he increases his lead by cutting corners.
FStoppers did a really nice article on shooting cars. There are two different techniques you can use (along with a little Photoshop) for producing some great images. The original request was for a studio shot but this takes place outside.
There are two parts to the story. If you're just interested in the shoot, watch the second one but I urge you to watch both-it's a cool story.
I have seen videos of folks shooting a car with multiple exposures via a 2x3 foot softbox suspended over a car in a darkened room, to capture a car without reflections also. I have entertained doing this some time in my barn, but have not yet ever tried it. Maybe when warm weather returns... If I would paint the ceiling in my barn white, I could then use is as a reflector like in the second video also. Hmmm.....

#1 - The story behind the car.
#2 - The shoot.
I do want to try the second method tho.

That'd be perfect.
