A friend of mine and Jake2k's wanted some photos of his car so we set out to give it a shot. Car photography is not really my thing mainly because i only have one flash to work with but i did the best i could with what i had. I know his car should be cleaned up a bit but it was kind of a last minute thing so i figured i would experiment.

The following 2 photos are the same thing just one with hood up but I was using the ambient that i could get and my single flash in a softbox with the diffusion panel up camera right to offer some fill.

I am no btuner but i figured i'd give it a try.

The results:

I like how the light on the brick wall emphasizes the shape of the VW. Maybe just a coincidence? idk.

It was a good place for ambient, that was part of the existing light but i felt it made the photo look more attractive.

i like the ambient lighting but the hood and windshield seem too dark. but im new at this too so dont listen to me

DD.

Only complaint is that the hood is cut off. Otherwise, nice job.

Thank you! Yeah i noticed that on the ride home but i didn't want to waste the pic. It would have been much easier if i had multiple flashes but im pretty happy what i was able to get out of a one light set up. Portraits and scenery are more my thing but i figured couldn't hurt to try lol.

for your start i think they are ok. Bt as you already know. You just need more lighting as i do myself!
