MK V GTI

I was testing out my Photoflex strip box. I think I'll be purchasing another one. This was done from two photos. One was with the light parallel to the side of the car and the other was with the light parallel to the hood. There's a dark spot on the fender and the black wheels turned out dark. Next time, I'll hit them with some extra light and hopefully I'll have a boom so I can position the light better and be able to have the reflection follow the body line.

Wow, did I call myself out on too much? Should I erase everything and just ask," how's my picturez"?



Two things I have to ask, is the saturation on the car too much? I got bumped up from the curves adjustment, but I liked it at first. Now, I'm not so sure if I like the amount of saturation or not.

Next is for anyone that has experience lighting cars or whatever. Would two strobes with snoots on them be adequate to light the black wheels? It would shed light directly on them, but with shooting a reflective surface, would it light the wheels properly, especially with black or darker wheels? Should I put an object like the strip box down low and fire it off there a little underexposed so that it can light, but not overpower the main lights?

i almost think the lighting is good. maybe a tad on the dark side. but it gives it an agressive look.

overall I think you did a nice job considering you already pointed out the two obvious flaws already with the wheels and fender. With that said, I think the rear quarter panel is flat and has lost it's curves but it might also be the screen at work I'm viewing it on. The other nitpick would be the big hot spot in the headlight.
