Very nice shot!
Was the top left corner where you used the black card?
Love the sun rays through the clouds!

The black card was placed horizontally and removed vertically.
i did check my test shot without using black card, there are still a few patches near top left that is a lot darker than the rest of the sky.
but it does look like i need to clean my sensor haaaaa

I normally don't shoot car photos with 50mm lens as i find it very hard to take good car photos with a standard lens (on a full frame camera). But i have no other choice this time so I have to see what i can do. I picked an old suburb area as background for the car. The placement of the car means i can shoot at f/1.4 and still have the most of the car in focus so the car can stand out a bit more from the slightly blurred background. WB was set at 7140K to create a slightly warm colour tone. Unfortunately i forgot to bring my CPL filter but lucky it was an overcast day.
Straight JPG from camera.
