Thought some people might be interested in seeing some photos I took this evening.

They were taken on my Nikon D300 with a 18-200 VR lens, 2 SB-600s fired using CLS.

Good pics and the pic of the setup is good to show people how it's done.

A little C&C: 1) I'd photoshop out that round flash highlight on the side of the car. 2) Next time choose a place without that annoying fence as it distracts from the car. Or if it was some way in the distance and/or you could use a wider aperture you could throw the fence into the background or render it out of focus.

nice photos

personally, id have used something like a quarter or half cto gel on the flashes to match the colour tone of your scene, but i come from a background in lighting for video. To me, lighting in video and flash work best when it doesnt look 'lit', and matching the colour temp of your lights to the light already in your scene can help achieve this.

Thanks for the comment - I will bear this in mind for next time - I have just got some filters aswell - just need to find a way to mount them to the flashgun.

It's a nice car isn't it! My dad's had the car quite a while, but we normally take pictures of the mini.
