Camaro SS at Dusk

Here is another view of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS.  This photo was taken shortly before sunset and the background is quite dark.  We added two off-camera speedlights that were triggered with wireless controls.  Both lights were set on the ground and aimed slightly upward so they wouldn't put too much light on the pavement.  Certainly, more light could have been put on the top of the car if the lights were mounted higher but that was not our intent.  We wanted this dramatic effect that is only achieved with low lights.  Notice how the rear wheel catches some of the flash but there is minimal effect on the rest of the body along the driver's side.  The timing was important, though, to get this effect.  We needed some ambient light because otherwise the car would disappear into blackness.  This shot seemed to have the right balance since we can still see the entire outline of the car.
