Got a little tip: find the actual sun, not the photo, and wait until it’s a bit low—just before sunset, when the light is warm and the shadows are long. Set the Mustang in a spot where the sun can shine directly on one side of the body and bounce off a reflector or a white foam board to fill in the shadows. Keep the camera at eye level so you capture the paint’s shine without getting too much glare from the hood. A slightly slower shutter speed lets the light spill across the panels, but make sure you keep the lens steady—use a tripod or a stable surface. Finally, don’t forget to adjust the white balance to a warmer tone, maybe a bit under 5000K, and post‑process the exposure a touch higher, but leave some of the detail in the shadows to keep that natural, golden feel. Happy shooting—just don’t let the engine get too hot while you’re waiting for that perfect light.
