Car shot crit

I know it's only a peugot but you make do with what you have. Should have left the wheels straight.

Yeah, wheel should have been straight

Also, watch for poles sticking out of the car, doesn't look good. And there's an uneven exposure across the car, some parts blown out, some quite dark. Was the car originally white?

Thanks I'll keep all that in mind I'll be shooting again tonight I'd say. Car is white, had one speedlight on a stand and my friend holding the other which explains the uneven lighting but I get what you're saying. I'll give it another go anyway, thanks for the crit!

If you're not afraid of having to use a bit of photoshop

Leave the camera on tripod, and move the flashes around for a few different exposures - make sure between them all, the car is lit properly (might only take 2, might take 7, depends on the car/angle/your gear/etc)

Layer them in PS and set the blend mode to lighten, then go from there

Never even thought of that, I do it with landscapes a good lot but it didn't even occur to me! Expect results tomorrow
