For this assignment, I reached out to Central Car Scene to find some people who would be willing to meet and take pictures on location. They responded, and we had two people who volunteered, so we met with them in one car at one location and a different car at a different location. Giving me and Zoey two options for whichever pictures turned out better with the ambient light. 

When checking out the equipment, we checked out the two flash triggers so each of us could shoot at the same time, while letting each other know when the other was firing. We had three light stands and the 3-piece Godox flash kit.

With the given amount of space at each location, it was a bit difficult to find the right spot for the lights initially. Once they were in place, we were able to start shooting and got some good pics. One issue we ran into was when one of us moved a light on one side of the car while the other was shooting the opposite side, it messed up the lighting for the other. But once we were communicating and taking turns, it went smoothly. The lights were sometimes too bright because we were on a main road with street lights and lots of cars going by, making it a bit tricky.

Being able to shoot two different cars in two different locations was a good practice for learning more about location lighting. Not every area is the same, and sometimes you will have less room than in another location. 

In each location, we tried to replicate Rogers' setup from the in-class car shoot, using one fill flash behind the car to either highlight the car or the building behind, and two additional flashes in front of the car to highlight the key details. At each location, we had to position the car to capture the scene we envisioned, aiming to fill the frame and capture as much background detail as possible without taking away from the subject.

All in all, I think this assignment went well. If I were to shoot another car again, I would probably plan the location with my own car first to see what the outcome is, instead of just showing up and putting the setup together. Since the shoot was later at night, it was harder to get the proper lighting at the location mentioned before. As it was a main road, the flashes sometimes fell too bright on some angles of the car, with all the other lights going on around us. Other than those things, I feel like the shoot went very smoothly and the people from the Central Car Scene group that volunteered got some good pics out of it!
