Jan 05, 2011 08:45 | #31 Beautiful, I think part of my problem was the lack of light period... without my flashlight I was risking tripping on my tripod when I tried it. There were no stars, no moon, I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. If I can keep my truck clean for more than 15 minutes at some point this winter I'll try it again, worst comes to worst I'll be trying it on a snowmobile. Canon Rebel XS

Shooting in pitch black just takes too long and thats when you get all the nasty digital noise showing up in the shot. Something I learned the hard way... I'll figure it out, if I do get out with my snowmobile at some point, the snow will most likely help as well. Canon Rebel XS

Post some pictures when you do it. I'd like to see the result. The nearest snow to me is in the Mtns. I like my warm So-Cal climate and don't want to climb a Mtn for some snow. Automotive Photography

It takes patience. It usually takes me a few attempts to get the light in the right areas. Always keep it moving.  can you describe your approach to these shots please? - exposure, iso, lens etc

They are around $10-20 then you buy a $5 bulb and use an extension cord to plug it in. You have to experiment with softboxes/diffusers but it's the best approach imo. Clean, soft light output for cheap

 Also it helps to have a stop watch on your cell phone to use as a timer of sorts so you can keep track of exposure time from one shot to the next . It almost always takes a few attempts to get the subject lit up to where I like it. Always shoot it RAW too. You can always adjust color temps and even light levels etc in post processing. It takes a fair amount of patience and experimenting to get to what effects you want. At least it does for me. Also don't be afraid to work in levels in photoshop if needs be. And try different flash lights etc. LEDS will give you a truer bright white while halogen bulbs will give you a yellow cast, which works great for making old broken headlights look like they are on.
