If this is in the wrong topic mods...feel free to move it. 8)

Ok I cant seem to pick up the glitter thru my paint job in any photo I take of it.

Is there a trick or a special time of day of taking the photo so that you can see the glitter too?

PLEASE HELP!! :P

Simple point and click cameras may not pick it up due to slow shutter speed. Get someone with an SLR camera (Canon EOS blah blah etc) to have a play with different settings.

Also the aperture may be wrong for the shot (may be focusing somewhere else). Again get a SLR camera and play with settings or try different distances with the point and click camera.

Tried not using a flash?

Primo thanks heaps Matt, I've sent him an email. 8)

Um yeah I've tried it out in the sun with no flash on, tried in garage light with no flash.......it just must be a nothing special camera. :lol:

Thanks for your inputs everyone I'll have a search around of someone that may have that SLR type of camera. :D

I dont think its easy to capture the sparkles.. look at guntars car, it has like a ton more prizmatique than u and it barely shows up in any pic.
The best bet is REAL bright sunlight.
Plus i think ontop of the marsmellow pink its more suttle and doesnt jump out and sceam OH MY GOD SPARKLES at everyone. Hehe
The ones that did come out of guntars looked a little rough.. looked like a shit paitjob rather than a nice sparkle.

No sparkles..

Not to bad.. but never looks great in pics anyway..
And then you get..

OH MY GOD SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK AT ME! lol

It will just never look as nice in a photo. :)
