So a question.
Many say that shooting bare is better than shooting with some kind of diffusion. my question is when to shoot bare and when to shoot with diffusion?
An obvious answer is shoot bare when there is Sun?

Just remember when you are shooting for a client, they dont want to hear excuses they want to see results.  i totally agree, but... that location was the clients choice! and he insisted :/ but i agree with you! www.gusarbphoto.com

Any other examples? Unless that is the look you are going for, doesn't seem as if your softbox(s) are large enough (or maybe need to be re-positioned) to get the entire car lit.
