Some photos I took over the summer of my dad's 1957 Chevy Belair and his 1971 340 Wedge Duster.
Advice?

maybe keep the whole car in the shot without cropping the wheels and use a shallower DOF to blur the background a little bit. IMO : )

When shooting a badge of some sort it can be more interesting with a 'weird' angle combined with some shallow DoF. The last shot shouldn't have it's wheels cut off. The second one could've been interesting but it's to dark and the exhaust is dusty.

Dad needs to get busy with the restoration of the 57 Chevy. Brings back some good memories.

Love old cars!! I would have love to seen more shots of the entire car...and perhaps close shot of the engine. I'd be careful getting the other car out of the shot as it's so close to the subject.

I like #1 question I have what type of flash did you use, the on board flash or a hot shoe? Reason I ask is the glare off the speedo, a bounced or diffused flash might show better, (I really wanted to see the miles on the odometer)
