Default Car Photography/Photography help needed!

Hope this is in the right section.

Hey guys, so Ive been looking to start a new hobby: Car Photography/Photography in general as well. Ive never been one for cameras and taking pictures but I am now.

I am really Noobish in terms of cameras and what they do and how to take good shots etc, so I wanted to know if you guys could give any tips and tricks into getting into the field. What cameras are good for a beginner, etc.

Car Photography: Since I am going to be using my car for this, what are the best angles to get good shots of our cars/cars in general? Are there certain angles and poses that do not come out well in pictures? What are some that do etc.

Thanks guys!

Car photography is tough. practice, practice and more practice
Look through mags or online you can see what angles are good but i think it depends on the car also.
Just get out there and shoot
As for cameras, usually nikon or cannon are the top, but you need a dslr camera so you can change lenses. Do not buy a point and shoot camera. Do not cheap out on lenses
Is there a price range you are looking at?

There so much to take into consideration with lighting and reflections that could make a good pic or bad pic. I never tried cars yet but aleays wanted too. Just try to do a lot of reading on the subject.

I have a nikon D90 that came with two different lenses and cost me around $1500. Its easy to use and is great camera. Im trying to get back into photography since thats what i went to school for.
