I had a go at trying to get some reflection shots using lighting. Not sure how it really looks or if I could do something a bit better.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

I like the idea and it looks good, apart from being able to see the lighting equipment in the reflection

I never even thought of that, but it seems a no brainer that they should not be there .... doh' Something to try next time :thumbs:

Nice idea and you got the reflections, personally i would maybe try to reflect something a little more interesting, rather than empty shelves.

Agree, plus the polisher & cable on the floor too...

Do you fancy polishing my car too ? :lol:

All good feedback chaps....much appreciated. I was not thinking about what was in the photos to be honest, more about the reflection....

Something to work on though :thumbs:

HDR seems to make black cars look like they're made of mirror.

That's on my list to try. I just need to learn how to take basic pics first.
