Ben is Project Fifty: #3 of 50

#3 of 50: Shoe-off

What I learned:  I want to do more off-camera lighting.  In this picture I had two light sources 1) the on-camera flash and 2) my 580EX II flash that was acting as a slave to the camera.  I placed the 580EX II directly perpendicular to the wheel and where my camera was.  I then turned off all of the lights in the garage.  I used the 7D's auto focus assist beam to fire off bursts of flash so I could focus on the wheel.  I then shot a couple pictures to gauge the exposure I would need.  Afterwards during post processing I desaturated some of the wheel and masked off the centercap, to retain the super high contrast between the bright red centercap and the very cold desaturized wheel.
