Default Wet Silver on ES

I think I may have found a way to capture some of the wetness of my silver car. Let me know what you think...does it look wet?





I just used a Canon A620 and took the pic at sundown right after a P21S wash and Z-8 application.

I find the key to using a non-SLR camera on silver is to take the pics in low light. Even on a good Canon the bling of metallic paints tends to fool the chip into focusing slightly off and setting the exposure slightly off - usually either too dark or light.

I think you got it. The reflection is crazy.
