      Chris Hau uuu I’ve been waiting for a new car video from You! I’ve recently started trying it myself, not as easy as it looks! I’d love to shoot Porsche cars, I love the lines, or Lamborghini. I’m shooting my Skoda right now, so a little bit off my goals but testing out your suggestions in your other films. Dream car to shoot, probably 911 turbo from the 90’s. Great film, thank You!

    About 12 years ago had police detectives called on me once and questioned for photographing multiple cars at the same location on an industrial estate. Apparently some karen complained suspecting I was dealing with stolen cars coz she'd seen me more than once with these fancy looking cars. When I showed the detectives the client's website, they just laughed the whole thing off and were fascinated by the car photography world.

    As a detailer, my pro tip would be if a vehicle has already been clean and you are going to a shoot location, carry a bucket with a gamma seal lid full of water and rinseless wash mixture. Then you can safely wash the car on the fly. If the car is not covered in dirt, you can also go for the waterless wash method (NOT QUICK DETAILER).

    I do security in a pretty photogenic part of my city. Had a group of kids come down with their cars, a Dodge Charger and a Pontiac G8, nothing too crazy but they had em dressed up real nice. They saw me and started getting back in their cars, so I asked em how loud they get. Kids were confused at first, but one of em ended up redlining that Charger HARD. Just so happened to have my DSLR in my car at the time and offered to take a few photos for em. Now I'm known as the cool rent-a-cop 😂

    Anyways..thanks! I’m a yacht/real estate photographer in south Florida and this definitely opened my eyes to new ideas and shooting the small details in a shallower depth of field. When most of the time we get programmed to shoot open spaces..we lose perspective of the details sometimes. You made it apparent again that those things matter just as much. So..thank you!

Most billboards are printed at the equivalent of like 6 megapixels.. so you don't always need the extra 40.

    A macro lens to shoot the logo and brakes? I mean I understand the size of the image in the sensor but macro lens are mostly for macro photography, like 2cm from the lens close...

    I have a question. Lets say you do 100mph, do you still put it 1 over 100? Or like you do 150mph, is it going to be 1 over 150?

    I appreciate this Video alot Chris! One question do you stick to the 24-70mm for the interior shots as well? I have been shooting cars for a while but usually with basic lenses or prime lenses.

    What I've learned shooting cars in the past. Always carry 3 brands of quick detailer as some brand react with some wax. also lots of microfiber in your bag.
