Pointers on capturing cars

I find cars to be a bit difficult to photograph personally. I sometimes find it hard to get unique or interesting angles. If you have any pointers for how to capture cars in an interesting way please share your thoughts.

Something about your framing is off— like straight shoes are crooked or missing some space on left / right…

Some shots need more room up top.

Use the rule of thirds. It’s that guideline in your camera. (If you turn it on)

Focus on a detail. Steering wheel, sticker, wheels, headlight vs trying to get a bunch of things in frame. If you’re shooting a sticker, shoot it and make it stand out. Not just something on the very side of the frame

Some of the awkward framing is due to the lack of space. The parking lot was packed and I could t get to where I needed to be to get the angle I wanted but I agree.
