granted I used remote strobes to light up the car, but the WB was getting fooled by the sodium lamps in the background. i just readjusted my WB on the fly (for those I can correct) and fixed the rest in RAW in PS. |
also, how do you avoid the headlights from being too bright, and overpowering the exposure for the rest of the picture (especially the cool star light spread effect--is this in the editing)? when i've tried pictures like this they end up like i'm taking a picture of a flashlight shining at me against a black backdrop, because the lights just end up overpowering the exposure (especially with a black car). thanks for all the advice--also, is there a more appropriate, dedicated forum for photo questions that I haven't discovered? thanks for all your help guys
