Bathtub picture
When trying to take pictures I am always looking for either an interesting yet not distracting backdrop or just highlighting the subject.
The bathtub gives an interesting semi-reflective background and tends to diffuse a flash fairly well.
A bright light source from above with a diffuser might also help.
This was taken with only a flash.

Re: Bathtub picture
Great idea Chuck, will try this, as I'm always looking for a better way to photograph my cars (no room for a light box)...radioactivity wrote: ↑Thu Feb 27, 2020 2:32 pm When trying to take pictures I am always looking for either an interesting yet not distracting backdrop or just highlighting the subject.

Alex, just please for our sake make sure you're not in the tub with the car at the time...

Re: Bathtub picture
Work will do that... looked on eBay, still nobody selling more time....
I just realised that you did post before me..... I guess the shock was more that the response was not adult content....

Re: Bathtub picture
Yeah, I wasn't feeling very creative. The rubber ducky caught my eye though!

Re: Bathtub picture
Thanks for input guys…
I’ll tell you I thought for a while before titling the post.
And the duck, well he is probably a better driver than I am.

Re: Bathtub picture
Ha! Hadn’t seen the duck.
As you said, moving the flash away from the camera and applying a larger diffusing surface to the light should improve the lighting drastically.
A white sheet across the top of the tub over the car and the light source above.
