Reflections

Notice you dont see a ton of sky before the pic loads, crop your pics, get rid of unwanted backgrounds. I see this alot, seems like forever before you actualy see some content.



Sometimes it helps if you mow the grass first



Use reduced image quality to decrease file size, by adjusting the JPEG quaility factor I cut the file size in half with just a little reduction in quality:



Always have the sun at your back unless you want a dark pic. Increase the gamma to brighten if needed. Sharpen your pics to compensate for poor focusing. Just a few tips, hope it helps.

Very nice, though sometimes backgrounds are nice, I see what you're saying about reflection shots shouldn't have much of a background.

Here's a pic, sorry about the sky though.

lol, yes, sky is ok on the hood

Mark is that your reflection pic on the Zaino site? It looks familiar, I've seen it before.

.No, that's not my car. I can't afford Zaino . I'm an avid Meguiar's fan myself. That pic there is from using the Gold Class. Unfortunately my hood has the best painted part of the whole car, which is kind of weird.
