After my earlier post about where to take photos in Essex and some suggestions of trying industrial/business areas, I set out looking for some suitable places having first given the car a wash. It was caked in Cornish country road dirt from Christmas visiting people so didn't get time for a decent wax before the light was starting to go.

I thought some dark roller shutters would look good but not much luck, so this grey one would have to do! Best was the tarmac had no horrible oil spills or puddles to distract on the photo.



Then I thought I'd try out some off-camera flash which I'm slowly getting to grips with. Didn't have long to play due to fading light, I need to try different flash positions, power, a taller flash stand etc.

Great pictures indeed 

Second one is very professional looking 

He has pulled off some good lighting effect at random, unless we are being duped!!

Thanks for the comments all, was reasonably pleased with how they came out.

Used a decent canon flashgun and a cheapo old Sunpak one from ebay and £20 wireless triggers from ebay, in case anyone was interested.

FWD_boy, I was tempted with the Lakeside meet but I'm going to Autosport v.early on Saturday so I think it'd be finishing up past my bedtime!

Second pic is superb.

Makes me want to get out and shoot my car. Maybe a plan for later in the week 

Looks great!

Nice pictures Nick and nice car also
