The following tips will help you take high quality photos of your vehicle:

• Do not shoot the shadow side of your vehicle.
• Make sure the sun is behind you and watch out for shadows on your vehicle.
• To help remove "glare spots" from your windows, roll them down.
• Shoot your vehicle in the morning or late afternoon, this will reduce shadows and harsh glare.
• Always use your flash, even in bright sunlight. (this will show more details of your vehicle.)
• Clean your vehicle, don't forget tire treatment.
• Park your vehicle on clean pavement. (Special Tip: Wet the pavement.)
• Position your vehicle in what is known as the 3/4 view.
• Crouch down and shoot at headlight level (this makes your vehicle seem "proud").
• Stand back when shooting your vehicle. You do not want to "clip" off the front or back bumpers and you want to leave enough space around your vehicle so that Recycler can crop it to size to fit the magazine format. (Example, if you fill the frame (which is typically square in shape), then when your vehicle is cropped to fit the frame of the advertisement (which is typically rectangular in shape). Your vehicle will lose its roof or tires.
• Do not position your vehicle under a shade tree or striped canopy, this will show up as a bad paint job in the photo.
• Your vehicle is the primary focal point of your photograph. Make sure that the backdrop is neat. You should never have anyone standing beside your car and your hood & doors should be closed.
• Turn off your camera's option of imprinting the date/time.
• Set your camera to the highest quality or fine quality setting.

Photos taken with film may be scanned and uploaded, but the online photo quality may not be as good as digital photos. See the examples below:
