Sure, like how all of these pictures were taken with the natural ambient lighting from sodium vapor lights:






Oh yeah, they weren't. Night pics can come out fine, but they come out much better with controlled lighting since it makes the car colors pop more. It's a fact, you can choose to accept it or ignore it. Or find us a REALLY ******* KICK *** spot!

Those are not night time pictures only the last one and they used a flash. You don't need a flash to take night time pictures

I know you don't need a flash to take night time pictures, and technically those are all pretty much long exposure shots. For pretty much all of those shots they used remote flashes and directed lighting. For many of them they used something like a Kino Flo Vista and quickly walked around the car (facing the car) to get the proper illumination, and let the long exposure enhance the background.

Oh BTW, here's one of the more recent night shots I took:

I waved a flashlight on the walls behind and above the car to bring out the reflections more.

But, this would be a group photoshoot, so lighting would be a little different.

Did you turn up the Saturation on that pic? Looks turned up a but.

Its all car position and knowing how to use your White Balances and have them correct.

This was taken at night, No editing, Just use nice long exposure and Correct set WB.

We just need to find good Lit spots

Just keep in mind, Most of the High-Tech Pics have pro-Lighting and/or Remote flashes. Most of your average people that shot for fun dont have that kind of equipment. So you cant really compare the two.

Yeah only bad part about parking structures is there is usually tungsten light which throws off your white balance. Unless you have a white balance disk or something, U end up with incorrect white Balance which turns your pics brown and weird lol

The Spectrum parking structure next to Rubys/PF Changs has/had some light that's close to white. Check it out when you get a chance...
