My first attempt with multi flashes. It was harder and trickier than I thought it would be :confused: . I just couldn't get the right strobe lighting as I've seen in some of this board members' work. I guess I need to practice more.

C&C welcome.

I quite like the balanced light in the first one.

Why do you think I suggest starting out with natural light?
It looks pretty good in those, though. Better than most I've seen here. Good background, too.

Looks pretty darn good to me! Which two flashes did you use? I just ordered two Sunpaks...can't wait to try them out.

I just got my Sunpaks and lightstands in. What height are your flashes at and about what distance from the car? Any other tips for a newb?

I wish I could answer these questions for you but since I'm a noob myself and didn't really know what I was doing, I kept on moving the flashes and adjusting their height between almost every shot. :oops:
