I have headed over to Canepa motors a few times to play with photographing
cars. There is a lot of pretty machinery there. Unfortunately, there isn't
much room and it's pretty much impossible to get a picture of a single car
isolated from the other cars on the floor. I had the thought that it might be
possible to do something to isolate a car from the background by using strobes
and taking advantage of the inverse square law, to light a car, and put a lot
less light on any other distracting cars in the background.
I suspect that there are a lot of pitfalls to this technique, starting with all
of the things on most cars that are shiny.
I've also considered using a strobe to shoot a car outside at night, for very
similar reasons.
Does anyone have experience usign flashes to photograph cars? Can you give me
some good simple reasons why this is, if not a bad idea, at least a lot more
work than other possible techniques?
