    well, for a typical car magazin shot you certainly chose the wrong lens. 24 mm's just are too much of a wide angle to get the mini right by proportions, especially on your full frame 5D. Second, in magazins you would have had more light on the motif and not as in your image a very homogenetic lighting of both motif and background. Third you would have needed some reflectors or visors to not have mirror reflections on the mini from the houses opposite of it, and fourth you would have done it with a polar filter in order to see more through the windows of it. The front window is okay since you hit a good angle, but you can't really calculate that without a polar when shooting, so I assume it was a bit of coincidence ;)

    so, that's my two cents for this section, but you might want to know, that actually I am a nice guy :))))

    I agree, I made over 100 shots from 40 minis that day. This one aimed at reproducing a typical car magzine review shot
