Decent enough....white cars (actually most cars for that matter) are better photographed in early morning/evening or overcast than in direct sunlight...here a few good points I read a few months ago:

http://blogs.edmunds.com/karl/2010/0...-your-car.html

Bump that ISO to 400-800, Come out of Auto mode to Av mode and put your f-stop around F8-11....I would probably shoot between 35-50mm as well...the kit lens for the EOS XS/1000d you are using doesn't have the best IQ (image quality) but you can get some pretty decent photo's out of it. Just play with it man and check out websites like:

http://www.digital-photography-school.com/ or http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/ for a wealth of free tutorials and information

Adrean nailed it. The only other thing I could add is to level the frame with the ground when shooting from the side.


Oh, also, if you can, get a circular polarized filter for your lens. It'll help make colors pop and also help you manage reflections.


Car looks sick BTW.

Ya, I am loving those rims, really want to know what they are and confirm the color. I think with the photo being kind of dark, they look even better.
