Hi 1000Horses,

Nice job with the black beauty there. Cedia does have the curves that makes it very photogenic. Congrats on your car.

Having previously owned a photogenic black car, I can offer some shooting tips if you don't mind.

1) It is hard to properly expose a black car, especially in the sun. It is therefore preferable to shoot in overcast weather or late evening around sunset or after. There are exception to this rule, if you are trying to get some special effect.
2) Choose a breath taking background.
3) Don't use flash like in the first shot. And no people around the car, I can see somebody in the reflection.
