Surenj recently said in this post that it'd be good to see an image taken with a trusty old car windshield reflector - well here is one I shot at a wedding last year:

wow, car reflectors work pretty well, thats a great shot

Great shot Geoff and thanks for going in to the trouble to post this!

Just for my education, I am guessing that the main flash is coming from high left side and reflector on the bottom right?

Surenj - no problems.
As far as I remember no flash was used for this shot, we were outside on a beautiful late Spring/early Summer afternoon, the car refelector was sitting just out of shot on their laps, facing up. My assistant and one of the bridal party helped hold it across them.

A very interesting technique...using a car reflector instead of a flash. Thank you, I will remember this.

Thanks for that Geoff. I was misled by the background to think that this was indoors and the strongish shadow under the womans chin to think that it was flash.

I should take my reflector when i am next out and about...
