Grabbed the camera and speedlights and headed to the weekly car meet at Shlomo's in Palm Harbor to get some lighting practice last night and here are the results:

Please give me your honest C&C, thanks!

 

1. I like the lighting on the Car, not so much on the background, kinda make the car blend in. (I liked )

2. You light was either to direct or to close to the car. But background was not lite, so I know this would have worked on #1.

3. To Bright. So, More Contrast or little less light. makes the picture to busy.. Nothing really POPS Out!

4. Love the red Contrast Lighting... And good angle & light on the car. ( My Fav )

5. That white background lighting is Killing me. & you umbrella is was to obvious in the tail light.

6. Again to much light & not enough contrast.. Makes the picture to busy & next time try to hide some of the excess stuff like the Audio input cable in the front of the stereo & the magazine on the passenger floor board & the headrest covers are to lite.


Hope I wasn't to hard on you.

#4 is the Best

 

In your flickr... You should post the VW Key Chain Pic...

And thanks for the input!

 

^ Makes me want a VW Key Chain... lol

 

I like the shots...the reflection though is killing it. I'd use a filter that diminishes reflections. Sweet cars

 

that RSX is sex!

 

Nice!
