There's a used car dealer a few miles from my house that has an

good place to practice photographing cars, and that some of the

on the list might like a couple of the cars that they have.

Used car dealer?
I'm pretty sure that almost all of those cars were owned and driven
before making it to Canepa.
Kripes, looks more like an automotive museum to me!
They have some rather nice restoration jobs for sale, don't they. The
website is:

Lovely cars, beautifully photographed. Great work!
Thank you. Looking at all of my shots for the day, I see many ways
that I can improve. With luck I can go back there a time or two and
start getting some really good shots.
For one, the lighting there is somewhere between weird and
challenging. I'll need to use greycards in the future.
There are also quite a few shots that would have benefitted from the
use of a tripod.
I was surprised at how often the wide angle was more of a liability
than an asset. My first assumption was that I'd use the 20 a lot and
the 31 a little, but it turned out the other way around. It's another
place where the 16-50 would probably be very handy, though with the
cluttered background, I'd probably want 30-75 on a full frame to
reduce depth of field.
I guess that I'm pretty lucky to have a place like that to shoot, 5
miles from the house.
