if i told you i'd have to KILL YOU .. i know where you live
muahaha haha kiddin
anyways first one was pretty much straight from camera. i shot it with a graduated cokin filter helped a BIT at saving the sky . and the flashes well.. filled in the almost black side of the car. i popped both flashes to about f22. so that basically lit the side .But it left all these ugly reflections everywhere so i cloned them out . the front of the car was lacking light cause i only had the two flashes so i added a little white to the front. then....warmed up the picture a bit cause flashes don't balance with the sunlight(duh , i forgot my gels at home)
second shot. i cross balanced the colors to my liking, sky was totoally gone so i used the raw and went down about -2.9 for the sky and i painted in some color into the blow out ness of the sky.did a level for the sky to pull a little more .then topped it off with some curves and contrast layers...
