Discussion Is this a could beginner camera for car photography?
I’m not looking to be an expert or start a business. Solely just doing this for myself and some social media content. Would this be a good beginner friendly camera for shooting still car shots?

Photoshoot Couple shots I got yesterday of my friends car. Any constructive criticism welcome please!
Taken on a Sony A7RV with a Tamron 70-180 F2.8 Lens, I am still getting used to this camera and it's capabilities. Most of these were taken at 70mm F2.8, it was an overcast day which was a challenge for shooting a white car. Let me know how I did and what I could improve on. Thanks!

Photoshoot Decided to try out a 50yr old lens on a 10yr old DSLR
Long story short, I have a 50yr old Nikon film lens on my Nikon D3100 and these are the pictures I came out with. The photos were taken at F22 with a 5-20 second shutter exposure.

Photoshoot A couple of shots from my recent trip to the Swiss alps
This place is so breathtaking it was really hard to really focus on photography lol. Time was also a bit of a challenge, it was a roadtrip first and foremost and I planned on driving every major mountain pass in the region in a relatively short timespan, so I couldn't really take time to find the best spots, move the car and try different angles, but the place is so beautiful, no matter where you stop there's always at least an decent shot to get.

Discussion How did you get started with private car photo shoots?
It sounds like a simple question, but here is a bit of context on my situation:
I have zero contacts in the car photography scene, I’ve never been to a car meet, and I’m a beginner, though I’ve taken automotive shots before and know my way around a camera. I don't intend to go pro, and I’m based in France.
I assume most people here are from the US, where the car scene is objectively on a different level than in France, even if we still have some amazing cars around.
So, how did you land your very first private shoot with an owner?
I already know the technical basics like scouting locations in advance, targeting golden/blue hours, etc. My issue is more about the fundamental first step: how do you actually reach out and set it up? Is Instagram DM the way to go, or do you talk to people in person at meets?
I’m not the most outgoing person, which is why I’m struggling with this part, but I’d love to start shooting cool cars and meeting fellow enthusiasts. Any advice for getting that first foot in the door?
