Decent clean and flash pics

[Jungle_Jim]

Well today the weather was nice for a change so i set about giving the clio a long overdue clean.

for the cleaning *****s i used:

2 bucket method with megs shampoo,
Autoglym tar remover where needed
front and rear bumpers where then subjected to the UDM with sonus SFX 1, 2 & 3, then finished with poorboys polish and sealant
and then i gave the rest of the car a quick going over with the poorboys too, applying it and buffing it with the UDM.
followed by tyre shine and back to black on plastics

Great pictures

What flashes/setup are you using?

Just 2 canon 420EX speedlights with triggers and clamps to fit on my studio light stands, could do with a third one really

I've got 1 430EX at the moment with the wireless flash transmitter, looking at getting a 2nd one though for it to work as yours have.

How far away do you position the flashes and at what height?

 

[Jungle_Jim]

it depends on the shot buddy normally between waist and head height and about 2m away, they do the ok for the price although at some point i will look into getting a travelpak which means i can use much more powerfull studio style lights on location (although they are like £1300 )

Thanks for the info.

Oh forgot to ask.... are the flashes set on full power and are these handheld shots or using a tripod?

Sorry to be a pain

haha no problem mate

yeah i had to use full power in order to expose for the sky properly, it is worth keeping in mind inverse square law - this basically means if you double the distance of a light for example move it from 1m away from the subject to 2m then you are effectively quartering its power.

And when shooting with flash you dont really need a tripod these where all shot at around 1/160 and then just altered the aperture accordingly

Did you use the 7D to control the flashes or the Blazzeo triggers?
Nice shots BTW
