Whats the best angles for shooting a car? Low down looking up at the car? Straight on? Side on?

What do you prefer?

I prefer the low down looking at front and along the side with front wheels at a slight lock on...
 
Generally. low down front three quarters with a tiny bit of lock on gets my vote, the lower you get the camera the more imposing it makes the car look.

Though it depends on the car and location, if you want more of the scenery in, higher works better, think i'll always like this high rear three quarters one i took of the cinq the day before it went off the road

You lot think about this?

Point phone and click is the most planning I do for taking photos of the car. Occasionally I even clean it first :D
 
Im thinking of this for a potential shoot on tuesday.. need to optimise the best angles possible for what im looking for..
 
Them kinda shots do for me too.. but cant see the wife being overly amused with me posting those kind of pics...
 
Generally, I try to get the head/tail or other feature of the car in a top intersection of the rule of thirds :) But however, I have a diploma in photography so no point of me starting mentioning all that bumph as you'll get lost haha. Also, a low depth of field always does it for me, but again thats me. I like using my 50mm prime for those shots as it opens up to f/1.8.

Anyway, enough of camera gibberish :)
