Yah that makes sense. Tried using a CL-P but it only helped slightly. Thanks for info.

Rodizzle -
Paint and wax look wicked, but like Master said, unless you want a great reflection of leaves in your car, that isn't a good idea. In my opinion, in order to get a good shot of a black car, have the background LIGHTER than the car color. You want to seperate the 2 not blend them in. If you had to shoot in that spot, at least light up the trees behind the car so it's not all shadow. I think your best shot was number 5 - I like the way you can see the trees lit up on the sides and even above the car a little.

Remember that what ever you light will be reflected perfectly in the cars paint. Love the car - look forward to seeing more shots!

Thanks guys for the great advice. I will make sure I keep that in mind. I guess practice makes perfect.

MoroccanSpicePhotos might want to crop the right of that picture (the top one), some of it is kind of pointless


Equipment: Canon PowerShot A650IS (semi retired) and Canon Powershot G10 (primary) and Rebel XT 350D w/18-55mm kit lens and Quanterey 18-200mm-- www.youtube.com/alexan​der1485 (external link) (has links to some of my pictures on the main page)

A shot tonight that i've spent a bit of time to get his MB e550 leds conversions to show a bit better.

I actually wanted to try the booming over head of the car. but I have to thank the person who done one prior.

Took quite a few tries since we couldn't nail out the reflection or get the lighting evenly
