Gutted....

do you have a tripod?

 

[BandyQuill]

i do not for a while i was borrowing dads but mum managed to stand on it snapping 2 of 3 legs... hopefully getting one for christmas now... i have a monopod but thats even harder to keep upright XD

just put the camera on a wall etc if you need. Thats what i used to do, you just need something stable to rest it on so you can slow the shutter down and narrrow the aperture a little.

the basic £35 tripod from jessops are not too bad. I have a redsnapper which is excellent , which i think is £60.

yeah i had to use the floor at these locations as there was nothing else about...

should be getting a Manfrotto 055, should cater for all of my needs

does anyone have any recomendations on how to use off camera flash with cars to get the best shine and image? i tried a few test shots and they were either too dark or it looked like the car was superimposed...
