Best Method for Car Interior Pics - Covering Windows
I want to get some awesome interior shots of some cars and was trying to think of the best way to do it.
Someone mentioned covering the windows by laying a black sheet over the car to darken them up and cut out any distracting background. But I also read somewhere to use white so the windows will nicely contrast with the most-likely-dark interior (maybe evern with some light aimed at the windows for a diffused ambient light look).
Other than that, I'll be using a tripod and wide angle lens of course, medium f-stop to keep as much as possible in focus; f8-11 or so you think?
Thanks!

The Sunpak FP-38 is a small flat panel flash that might be useful within the confines of a car also. I have never tried it that way, but it is similar to the LED panels David Hobbe talks about, but is an actual flash panel with a GN # of 38. It comes with a built in optical trigger, so you can use more than one without running into wiring difficulties also.
