@code_martial: Thanks. But it could be better, I'm still unimpressed by the reflection, it could be brighter, then again I'm just learning to use the off camera flash.

@desinole: Is that a transparent surface? You could've put a white sheet of paper underneath it to make the overall surface brighter, then used a little bit of level adjustment to make parts of the surface other than the car's reflection dark again.

I don't know how to achieve that without any post-processing, though.

@code_martial: I should have posted a picture of the setup.

I could do a few things with post processing, but personally the better raw picture I can get, the more satisfied I would be.

I initially took this picture in almost no ambient light, which made auto focus a problem. Then I had two yellow lamps to make things a little easier and if you look carefully in the picture, the gold from the seats and the yellow in the reflective surface is from the lamps and the wall (which is off white). I also had an external flash going, but I have to play with the flash power, because too much power distorts the white on the car.

I assume with some reflective material, I should be able to get a better reflection and some black material against the wall will remove all that unnecessary stuff.

BTW the reflective surface is a piece of shiny plastic that I picked up from an acrylic shop.

More research when I find the time.
