1 Canon 430 EXII from left hand side from around 4m aimed at the car doors at 1/2 power

Sorry didn't get the BS but hope that explains it.

Great shot here, simple but effective.

Here is my first time shooting with strobes, on this picture I use three YN460II, cheap strobes but works fine.

I decided to take a few shots at a car show over the weekend, heres one with my speedlight on the grass beside the car, its a little blown out but I kinda like the shadow and the effect

A litte edit of your picture. I like the shot and the car. More an exercise for me to see if I could make the photo pop a little more. Hope you don't mind.

Idk what you did to the photographers pictures, but you basically destroyed it in my opinion. I tried to figure out what you did, but could not find it in anyway at all. Im sure if the photographer saw that edit it would probably make him upset, because a great pic basically got destroyed.

When i was trying to figure out what you did to the pic, I actually ended up doing an edit as well. I am actually happy with how it turned out

No disrespect intended. I like the original too (as I mentioned). The OP mentioned a couple pages back he was trying to lighten up on the blue and grey in his shot. Since he had "image editing ok" I was just messing around to see if I could get what he may have had in mind.
