So I went to play with some lighting last night... Unfortunately it started raining just after we got there so I was only able to get a few shots off. Lighting is still uneven but its a bit better then parking lot lights.

I like #1, but the shadows from the wheels are to distracting. I think you should of lite up more of the foreground..

Also since you have four strobes I'd like to see you try and light up the cabin, I always think that looks cool.

yeah I would need one more flash to light the foreground though.. There's two backlighting the car, and two shooting through umbrellas. One camera left one right. I was trying to get the shadows to come straight at me but ran out of time playing with it cause of rain. This was only the second time using off camera flash for me though so hopefully soon I can find time to play some more...


This weekend Im shooting a friend in some very christmasy clothing... Well if you call it clothing LOL so hopefully that turns out well. I'll post when I'm done.. Look for the NWS disclosure in the title :D

I really don't know shit about lighting, but I use to look to Jtuned.com for ways to light up cars [still never made it out to try].


[HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES]

it's a whole ton of fun.. If you use something that syncs exposures then it's not too hard but with speedlites and cactus triggers it's all manual so there's a lot of running back and forth. If you have more then two off camera it's no fun without another person. Jtuned is a good idea I'll check that out.
