Well, here goes first try at wireless flashes, I had a lot of mis-fires, I assume maybe one factor was to blame, I used the provided batteries...I just wanted to try and get the feeling of shooting wireless. C & C appreciated. P.S. I know about all the distractive items in the background...I just wanted to get the lighting right...

Cars are curved mirrors &, except for silver cars, direct light on them doesn't work well. Better is lighting something else, like a wall, that will reflect into the car. Even better yet, if you don't have a studio, is to let the sky work for you:
