The flash was direct and non-bounced, the first photo was bounced off the inside of the car making it less harsh. It wasn't sharpened on photoshop, that's just how sharp my lens is! :) Interesting you say that.

While the first photo is fine, I think the second one doesn't really work. It looks <em>too</em> sharp and overworked. A simple unsharp mask in PS CS2 and bringing the colour saturation up will make it look much better. Well, IMHO! I wasn’t going to say anything, but as Adz has brought it up I will.

Yeh, I use HDR quite a bit on car photos to show all detail, even the bits that were once in shadow, if you know what I mean? And thanks! :) Thanks!

It works well to show how it looks in real life. Oh yeh and cool mini. Though I know sh*t all about cars! Hey Daze,

In case of a major accident it could be pretty serious. Plan is to move the Facet pump to the rear subframe (outside the cabin completely) move the battery itself to the rear bench. Fuel line will remain down the centre of the car, battery lead will run down the drivers side of the car. Just been thinking about what you said, I also asked on TMF and things.

I've got a plan on how to solve this and It'll be posted up here soon :) An update on this actually – Like you said Collin it’s not the smartest move in having the fuel and battery cables running next to each other.

I'd say impossible to make a spark, surely? Anyway, its like that below the car as standard... True, but the battery lead is very high quality and sealed. I’d say impossible to make a spark, surely?

Anyway, its like that below the car as standard…

The only thing that really worries me is the main power lead running right next to it. Sparks and fuel don't mix... That looks good mate.
