I am slowly figuring out the value of quality lenses, been playing with aperture and depth of field, and experimenting with my Canon 50mm F1.8 on a T2i.

Cheers.
Thanks.
I guess you can pick up some tips by google car photography guide or car photography 101.

But I give you some key tips I think is important.
Location - try to find an interesting location.

Background - try to avoid a busy and messy background. Try to find a simply backdrop like a wall, building or a nice scenery.

Composition - think about the angle you're shooting the car, also remember the rule of third.

Light - often overcast or close to sunset is a good time for shooting, especially a black car.
