Magnifying Glasses Suck For Viewing Trucks!
Benjamin Sanchez's '98 Ford F-150
Labelle, Florida
We Say: It's a good idea to frame your truck as close as you can to the edges of the photo. That way, we can enlarge the photo so that others can see it clearly. The best way to do this is to pay attention to these proportions when looking through the viewer of your camera.

Shadow Detracts From The Boosted Mini
Floyd Leitold's '02 Chevy S-10 Xtreme
Sprice Grove, Alberta, Canada
We Say: This supercharged Xtreme packs some punch, and Floyd sent us the dyno graph to prove it. Our only gripe is that we can see the shadow of the photographer. When taking pictures of your vehicle, it is a good idea to have the sun behind you, but you may need to angle the truck so your shadow doesn't get in the way.

This Is Sport Truck Magazine Not Gq!
Craig Sinclair's '97 Chevy Silverado
Clinton, North Carolina
We Say: Craig sub-mitted a nice photograph of himself next to the truck he prides, and although it's a great picture to frame and display in his home, it doesn't quite fit in Sport Truck. Instead, we would rather focus our attention on the truck. However, if there was a super-hot chick next to it we wouldn't mind.
