Like a fully built, turbocharged LS/VTEC to a bone-stock B18B, we prefer automotive photography that adds balanced, multi-point off-camera lighting and some post processing to an already strong shot. But that's not to say it's always necessary. This month's Longshotters prove that with a little creativity, ambient light can do well enough on its own. OK, maybe there's a little photoshop in there, too. Just a little.
