Bathtub picture

[radioactivity]

When trying to take pictures I am always looking for either an interesting yet not distracting backdrop or just highlighting the subject.
The bathtub gives an interesting semi-reflective background and tends to diffuse a flash fairly well.
A bright light source from above with a diffuser might also help.
This was taken with only a flash.

The rubber duckie is a nice touch! Car looks great!

If it wasn’t as shiny it almost resembles a light box. Good idea, except my tub is always too dirty to pull this off. Single guy life......

Great idea Chuck, will try this, as I'm always looking for a better way to photograph my cars (no room for a light box)...

Alex, just please for our sake make sure you're not in the tub with the car at the time...

Work will do that... looked on eBay, still nobody selling more time....

I just realised that you did post before me..... I guess the shock was more that the response was not adult content....

Yeah, I wasn't feeling very creative. The rubber ducky caught my eye though!

Thanks for input guys…
I’ll tell you I thought for a while before titling the post.
And the duck, well he is probably a better driver than I am.

I didn't even noticed the ducky till I read it and scrolled back Pic is actually good. never would have guessed its in a tub.

Great idea... I expected to see a tub full of parts in full scrub! LOL

Ha! Hadn’t seen the duck.

As you said, moving the flash away from the camera and applying a larger diffusing surface to the light should improve the lighting drastically.
A white sheet across the top of the tub over the car and the light source above.
