Very good article Bob, thank you for that info. I'm really surprised to learn about using a forced flash in daylight, whodathunk? My camera has that option on it so I'll do that for sure. It also mentions getting up on a ladder. I can't transport one in the T, but the place I am thinking about, the beach area on Sanibel Island, has picnic tables. I can step up on one of those and get higher elevation. My Ex is a photography buff so I will borrow a tripod from her to minimize the shakes.
I might even entice one of the beach bunnies there to become an impromptu model.(no Bob, don't offer one of your "cuties!"
) Tomorrow is supposed to get back into the 70's, so I might go then.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Too late......................
Here's an example of the flash fill at work. The sun was low and to the left of this shot, filtered through some trees. It isn't the best backdrop but what the flash fill did was bring definition to the black side pipe and the tire vs wheel well, as well as define the front valence area and the rocker line. Makes the tire/wheels pop rather than be buried in the shadows.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

Bob
She'd look great in an ols beat up truck, say a 48 Ford?
Don your car is so low to the ground that you'd probably get some good aerial views just standing on a step stool!Seriously!

You're right Bob, very sharp picture. Car is nice also. Red cars photograph so nice. That picture looks very professional grade for sure.
Steve, never thought about that.Maybe I'll dig out my old platform shoes from the '70's.

I'd suggest a low, rear 3/4 view as well on you car. With the lowness and the bigs & littles, along with the lakes headers it would make a real nice shot.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
