HINTS:
Put that beautiful car in a beautiful location – be cautious of shooting in a location that has distracting elements or is cluttered. Extra items such as rocks, sticks, and/or litter can hurt the picture's chances of being chosen. Do take the time to make sure the car is clean; no grass, tar, dirt or water on the surfaces.
Again, we prefer TIFF, PSD, JPG, or BMP images (JPGs run the risk of clarity/quality problems, especially if you save them more than once.)
- Take the time to position the car well within the frame; as important as the background is, the car should still be the focus of the image.
- Watch out for reflections that wash out the image; put the sun behind you, over your shoulder.
- Use a tripod for sharpness.
- When taking your pictures, keep in mind that we will blur all license plates so that they cannot be deciphered.
- Do not crop your image below 1800 x 1200 pixels in size (2880 x 1920 for cover consideration); however, we will accept images larger than the required specs.
- Do not resize a smaller image to a larger size, as that will render it unusable.
- Do not use image manipulation programs such as Adobe® Photoshop™ to enhance your images with type, graphics, effects, or special filters.
