Photographers advice

[Dash]

A couple of things I am having trouble with and would like your help please.

Firstly. Everytime I take a pic of the car it get a dark shadow underneath the front bumper. Unavoidable maybe?

Secondly. How could I photoshop a carbon front splitter ( like a 172 Cup ) onto the front of my Vee?

Thanks for any help.

Maybe getting a light or something under there will help get some light there.

What about taking the picture at night so the flash illuminates the car so there no dark spot.

I have to say that looks beautiful when clean makes me want to go and wash my car.

most professional way to get rid of the dark spot is to use a flash remote cable and place the flash almost on the ground.... But it depends on what camera youve got i suppose.....

or during the day use a million trillion or whatever they are torch from homebase or somewhere.. sit that a few foot away of to one side so you dont cast a shadow.....or use a longer shutter speed..

£20,000 + and you cant afford silvervisions

Splitter looks cool

You could try using fill in flash on your camera. Just change the flash setting to fill -in. This should take away the shadow, hopefully you will not get a reflection of the flash on your car.

James, what about using one of those reflective umbrella shaped thingies that photographers use to reflect light?
Maybe you could get someone to hold it to reflect light to the lower part of your car out of the shot?
Otherwise park it so that the front is into the sun to lighten it a bit!

Your car is GORGEOUS!! If I did more than 3,000 miles a year Id have one!
