There's a whole thought process behind car photography. Simply taking a random photo of a car isn't all that spectacular, but with a few easy tips and tricks, you can turn your car photo into a visual masterpiece.

Cars are the subject of this contest. They can be moving or still. Any motorized road vehicle with 4 wheels that can carry passengers is allowed in this contest. This means jeeps and 4-wheeled trucks are on-theme as well.

If you need some inspiration, have a look at the Pxleyes car contest from 6 years ago.

A ton of new cars and camera gear have been released in the last 6 years, so let's see what you can come up with in 2021! If you've never photographed a car before, have a look at these 8 tips from Digital Photography School. They teach you about lighting, reflections, backgrounds and motion blur.

Good luck!

PS: Try to vote on all entries in the contest. The more votes we get, the more accurate the rankings will be. Also, when you see something on someone's entry that can be improved, let them know. That way, we can learn new skills from each other!

PS 2: Ideas for future contests can be submitted here. The best ideas will be picked and turned into a contest. Make sure to clearly define the rules and objectives of the contest.

I love the whole story of your upload. The days when the youth of the time travelled in these VW vans listening to California Dreamin by the Mamas and Papas! Your story is well captured here. Photographically a most pleasing view with predominant colours of yellow and blue which are complimentary on the colour wheel...blue always looks great with yellow and you have captured this well. A great natural saturation with good dof and a very comfortable crop....giving us a lovely memory through photography....thank you.
