View Full Version : What's the trick to photographing carbon fiber and having it look really good? Cameron 12-18-2005, 10:06 PM And don't say Photoshop. elitotaco 12-18-2005, 11:37 PM wont help. i suppose the proper lighting, along with maybe a polarizer would.

I can imagine a nice "shallow DoF with the rising sun reflected in the CF"-type shot. RKA 12-19-2005, 05:02 PM Get a tripod, try to place the car in a bright environment without pin point lighting that will cause the glare you're seeing. And use the timer function so you don't introduce camera shake when you press the button. Experiment with the lighting until you get it right. In general you might find you'll get the best pictures with sidelighting.
