Pinto Always in our hearts and minds. R.I.P.  More info | Oct 05, 2008 12:42 | #2 This is one of the most difficult shooting situations. If you are shooting where you have no control of the car locations, a CP will help some, but there is really no way to kill those hot spots. All you can do is watch your angles for glare and reflections and pray for some overcast.
