Default Fiat Abarth - Strobist style shoot

Hi. This was the first time I used a flash to shoot a car. Please give me some C&C.





Also took this one without the aid of a flash.

Outside of the bad stuff reflected in the body, the exposure looks OK. Silver paint is easy. Just don't expect the same results from a dark car.

The first one really seems to capture the shape of the car better than the other two,perhaps due to the extra light.Can't really comment on the lighting as I have never used flash much on cars myself.It does seem a difficult art to master well but can give great results.Look forward to seeing more of your efforts.
