Hello Guys

I am always looking to improve my flash photography, so i took my car out for a drive and took these shots

They are all multi exposures lit by one bare speedlite.

let me know what you think / what i could have done better. I have a softbox for my speedlite which i will try next time to see the difference in light on the car.

Essentially, your on to something good, very good!

I would suggest…
— get rid of the flare in #2
— get the two scenes to the same luminosity, somewhere between the actual values, and
— since the subject allows for it, introduce —through tonal separation— a more accentuated artistic intent
 
Nice shots - looks a similar colour to my old A4 - lovely car
 
Really well done. I agree the flare should be cleaned up, but on both pictures IMO. I would also rather a blank numberplate than your the workaround you've gone for. Otherwise, quite lovely :)

I was thinking about removing the flares but i thought id leave them in as i like them, shame the one on the rear shot was over the light

It is a very hard shot to pull of, you did it well!

cheers mate, this is why i wanted to try it as if i can get this shot right then im on the right path with strobe lighting

Nice shots - looks a similar colour to my old A4 - lovely car

Thanks, yes is a great car.
 
I've never been partial to car photography, but this does look great and I think the flares actually adds to the pleasing look..
