Automatic flash will determine if the flash goes on the amount of light detected. When we tell you to use your flash in the sun, Auto flash almost never included, because they will think that is enough light. Using the flash helps to illuminate shadow areas, as well as minimizing any glare to the balancing of the overall lighting. Force flash should be used for exterior shots, cockpit shots, and engine bay shots.
You write and shoot a shot engine bay and then figure out when it comes to photography later to see if anything on top of the engine and nothing more.

Since we are focusing on color photography, proper lighting is essential. In fact the real lighting means lots of light, and the correct type of light. Without proper lighting it is almost impossible to have an award winning photograph, even one that is touched with the best photo editing tools. When it comes to lighting you have an even distribution of light across the surface of the car. This light illuminates all areas, not sharp and vibrant and do not cause shadows. Sunlight to the low-angle, such as the sunrise or sunset is often the best. This low-angle light covering of the surface with light. Sunlight that is high in the sky as the harsh midday sun must be avoided or you will have glaring reflections. The harsh light results in the top surface is washed, and the lower areas are dark with excessive sjene.Krajnji goal is low angle, soft, evenly distributed light that illuminates the entire vehicle.
