Very nice use of lighting. It gives the later shot a lot of depth. The light all the way down the front on the makes the first shot look unnatural in my opinion. For your first time these came out very, very good. Don't be afraid to change everything. Height, distance, and angle can all make a difference.

Looks great!The debris on the floor is distracting though. Where did you shoot them?

Thanks everyone this was my first time using lighting and it was just 2 Sunpak 383 flashes with just some cactus triggers. Both were shot with a Nikon D40 with a Sigma 10-20 lens.

live and learn, but a good start. you may want to look into a diffuser so you don't wipe out your own shadows, let the primary flash cast the shadow and put a diffuser on the second flash so it can fill the scene without over powering it.

Don't be afraid to put one behind the car out of sight. Being backlit some some front fill can give nice effects too. Try stuff out, no need to worry about film  Oh and diffuser to eliminate hot spots.

Well apparently my buddy sold the s13 which angers me very much so bc it was a very clean white coupe. And he sold it to buy a Camaro so yeah. But the 300zx will be shot sometime in the next week. O and thanks to anyone who post help. I need it and appreciate anything. I do not get butt hurt if you want to say my pics suck just make sure you give me a reason why they suck so I can improve. So keep the critiquing coming.
