Hi my name is Lucas I am 20 years old and enjoy photographing cars and doing street photograph. I also like to create videos but I need a but more practice in that genre. I started with a Nikon and now I have a Sony. Tell me about you!

How to Use a Polarizer When Shooting Cars (Even with a Phone) You don’t need a professional camera setup to get clean, high-quality car shots. One of the best tools you can use — even with a phone — is a polarizing filter. You can simply hold the polarizer up to your phone’s camera while shooting. It works the same way it would on a DSLR. Why it matters: Removes reflections from glass, paint, and chrome, giving the car a more defined, polished look. Deepens colors — blacks appear richer, skies look cleaner, and body lines stand out. Reduces glare, which saves you time in editing and gives your shots a more professional finish. Tip: Rotate the filter while looking at the screen — you’ll actually see the reflections fade and the contrast improve in real time. A polarizer is small enough to keep in your pocket, but it makes a massive difference in the final image. If you shoot cars often, it’s one of those tools you’ll never want to be without.

I spent most of my time with my girlfriend so I didn't take out my camera until I was alone. She ran a marathon on Sunday and thats when I snapped these 2 pictures. The rest of the time I spent tracking her down and taking pictures of her running. my favorite is the one of the runners and building because it was my first time using a wide lens for street photography and I personally liked my composition here a lot with the leading lines. These pictures were taken on my 16-30mm f2.8 Tamron.

I just stumbled into this mini shoot of a 2018 Chevy Colorado that happened back in June of this year. I don't normally do automotive, so this was a little different than how I had done things to this point, because I only ever use the phone as a "snapshot" camera. So here's the reminder in the story; I chose to ingest these photos via bluetooth (first time doing this), and during the process the phone arbitrarily decided to force an update/restart in the middle of the ingest. Now, I don't know what was changed, but what I do know is that when I finally got the images ingested into the laptop, all but two were "garbled" and when I viewed the images on the phone, they too were garbled. So now, I only have 2 out of about 9 or 10 images that were taken of the vehicle. This is also the reason I shoot dual card with the 2nd card being a duplicate in my Nikons - I always have 2 copies of every capture or frame right from the very beginning. I'd be happy with the two photos I did manage to get and save, if it weren't for the cutoff tailgate on the 2nd image, which I think was 5 in the series. I did have a full tailgate shot in the original captures, but it was one of the garbled images that could not be recovered. Fortunately, this was not something that was a paid gig. Moral of the story: If you shoot professionally, ALWAYS shoot professionally, like every capture is a paid session, and USE your regular workflow ALWAYS. Your brain will develop "muscle memory" (as athletes would say) so the more you do, the less likely mistakes or disasters will set you back because your workflow should take these things into consideration. Just my .02 worth. Yeah, I'm tossing in that cutoff tailgate, just as a reminder when I see this post that using my normal workflow could have prevented this.

Hey guys so I want to make some videos about taking pictures on a camera and cell phone. Which one do you want to see first? Are you guys using a cellphone or camera when you go see cars?
