Reflecting my Hot Wheels Plymouth Barracuda

If you've ever watched car commercials, you've seen cars parked on mirror smooth floors that reflect every detail of the vehicle.  Amazingly, it's very easy to recreate that look when taking photographs of die-cast cars.  Here are a couple of photographs of my Hot Wheels Plymouth Barracuda hot rod.  The mirrored surface is reflects every detail of the Barracuda in this photo.

Hot Wheels Photography Secret 

What's the secret?  It's water.  These photos were taken in a car wash bay.  The roof of my car provides a smooth surface with a sheen of  fresh water from the car wash.  While the car wash provides the shade, the  photography lighting is provided by the sun.

The Butterfly and the Barracuda: Hot Wheels Barracuda Hot Rod

Sometimes you have to take advantage of beauty when it presents itself.  For example, this butterfly  came to visit when I was hosing off my car.  It seemed to enjoy the damp pavement and cool water so I took the opportunity to take a photo of the butterfly with my Hot Wheels Plymouth Barracuda hot rod. 

Since I don't have much of a budget to hire models to pose with my cars, I let this model take a quick spin to show off.
