I'm just starting to get into photographing cars, and I tried some OCF with my car last night. I used the 50/1.8 on my 7D, 30 second exposure @ f/2.2, ISO 100. I walked around the car setting the flash off manually, once on either side of the front, once on the far side and twice behind, at ground level as well as aimed at the top of the car. This was taken in my driveway, and I had my house's outside lights on for fill.

C&C would be appreciated, as well as any general tips. I only have 1 flash at the moment, and with the recharge delay I can get a maximum of 5-6 flashes in a 30 seconds exposure.
