Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hi, I've been trying to take some incar pics, below are about as good as I've been able to achieve at this stage.
The problems I have are the highly reflective nature of chrome, I'm guessing this can be overcome with white, black, or a combination or cards above it.
Another problem I am having is lighting, the small area doesn't help, I have experimented with sitting the speedlight (sb-600) in various parts of the car, arond the boot, on the back seat, bouncing off various internal surfaces.
Has anyone got any thoughts on how I could improve on these and tips for future in car shooting. I have d70s, 18-70, 50 f1.8, sb-600 available to me at the moment.

The first pic is an alright shot.
The second shot is abit too messy and at a funny angle for my liking. I'd also look at either vacuuming the boot to remove the white specs or PP them out.

Some smooth white panels around your subject and judicious use of flash should do the trick.
See here for an example of a somewhat simpler situation in terms of setting:

i'd suggest a low light approach, small iso slow shutter and a tripod. should let the available light into all of the nooks.
or, and this could be fun, full daylight and use a few bed sheets as a light tent  Simon

I purchased a Teddy Bear this morning for the sum of $10. I named him Mohammed. This afternoon I sold him on E-Bay for $30. My question is, "Have I made a prophet?"

This would be a case where bracketing would be handy.
merging a few different shots for midtones and highlights.
Are we there yet?
