Photo Tips

Your main photo is the most important part of your Show Board.
Follow these steps for a can’t‑miss shot:

1 — TAKE PHOTOS IN THE RIGHT LIGHT
Shoot 1–2 hours after sunrise or 1–2 hours before sunset

Park with headlights pointed toward the sun

Keep the sun at your back

Avoid casting your shadow on the car

Turn on your headlights for crisp reflections

2 — AVOID DISTRACTING REFLECTIONS
Shiny paint reflects like a mirror

Choose a large open parking lot

Avoid buildings, trees, poles, and clouds

Avoid grass to prevent green color casting

Goal: Show the lines, not the reflections

3 — FILL THE ENTIRE FRAME
Fill the frame completely without clipping the car

Use your phone horizontally, not vertically

Horizontal photos capture maximum detail and resolution

Submit high‑resolution, clear, fully‑focused images

Avoid low‑resolution or scanned photos

Send multiple angles if possible
