i wouldn't worry too much about wet tarmac - but in essence you shoot your white car in a wide open space with light coming from all around it's not gonna help to define the subtle curves

i have spent lots of time trying to get my digital images to look like pictures used to on film - contrast plays a big part in that - highlights are the key. once they have gone they won't come back, so if they are there to begin with you have the choice of whether they are important to the picture or not.

really looking forward to see your efforts.

have been thinking about dropping evosal who lives in my town an email to see if i can shoot his recently restored white S1 typeR... see if can put my money where my mouth is!
