Sunset pics
Retried the sunset pics again, this time with flash. I got varying degrees of success... Judging from the results, I will need a backlight to eliminate the shadow from the key light, and maybe another key light to light up the rear end better.
I'll try the IR on the 580exII to trigger a 430ex. We'll see how reliable the triggering is. If not, I guess it's more $$$ into the gear pit and go with the PWs.
I hope I get a better cloud formation the next time.

nice shots! i've been reading up a lot on your past threads, looking for key tips to keep in mind.
EDIT: number 2 is my favorite, the sunset is a nice contrast against your ride, and the lighting appears more uniform, without casting an obvious shadow.

i'd suggest one to your immediate right, highlighting the front 1/2 of the car, one more to your far left, highlighting the rear 1/2 of the car, and one more behind the car to illuminate it a bit.
just a thought, would love to see how it'd turn out.

It was really cloudy yesterday so the colors were dull and flat until I used the speedlites. Most wouldn't be able to tell that strobes were used unless they look at the lighting on the wheels, which is too dynamic to be from natural light.
Here's an alternative to the PW for $25 http://radiopopper.com/model_jr.php
