I've always wanted a front/side shot of my car. I've never been able to get one that I like until today.

FordMike · 10-21-2012, 09:33 PM

You've got a very nice car. Great shot!

spdway1 · 10-21-2012, 09:40 PM

Nice!

al's28/33 · 10-21-2012, 10:06 PM

I can stare at a Model "A" all day long!

Jamie, it looks like you're pretty close to Ford specs on Model A promotional photography. The ad department specified that the camera should be at belt line for the best angle.

Chief, Momma, me &, the Dog, Bulger, relied on one just like that for many years, we traveled any and everywhere, even lots of looooong trips! Bill W.

That is a nice shot. Like the car too.

'29 Tudors are handsome cars.

Thanks, I would be interested in reading those specs. Where can I find those?

jkcrosson · 10-22-2012, 09:29 AM

Again, thanks guys for the nice comments.

Russ/40 · 10-22-2012, 09:49 AM

No intentions of painting the car. I do, when I get permission from my 6 year old daughter, want to paint my wheels back black. But that is a flashback to a post from a couple years ago.

In this particular photo, you have to overlook the cellphone camera limitations and the glare. But, you get the idea. I think this angle has a playful "Catch me if you can!" kind of attitude to it.

Not to mention the obvious design cues taken by the "Tilt-O-Whirl" carnival rides...

Nice shot and nice car.

Model A Fords look GOOD from all angles!!!!!

HoarseWhisperer · 10-23-2012, 01:09 PM

While 3/4 front/rear shots are the most popular, especially for insurance images or selling; don't discount up high, or low on the ground angles for dramatic effect.

Even a straight side or front shot will emphasize a good vehicle.

But most importantly, watch the background.

bogiediver · 10-23-2012, 04:25 PM

Can't agree more on background...

And a special effect...

Ah, that's a rare Model A Ford "Pickup/Coop" hybrid, seldom seen in these parts.
