It's a photographer's nightmare...a silver truck on a grey overcast day..So what can you do about it? Bounce in a bit of flash in the front, turn on the lights and give it a bit of the old Biglorryblog 'dynamic' tilt...Alternatively try this..and click through here to find out what I mean....

Get it undercover if you can and make it look as if it's working...and 'Voila!' as the French say, you have a nice shot that can be used for all sorts of things too....and in case you're wondering why I've chosen this particular truck it's because the UK's largest independent galvanizing specialists, W Corbett and Co, has taken delivery of eight new Renault Premiums through Renault Trucks Midlands. In what's clearly a bit of a 'conquest deal', the three new Euro-5, 6x2 Renault Premium 450.25 tractor units and five Premium Distribution 240.18 rigids, are the first to join Corbett's previously all-Merc and Iveco fleet.

And before I go remember what I'm always saying to you about attention to detail? Well look at this shot again and tell me what catches your eye?  What ctaches my eye is the little white spec in the background by the rear nearside tyre...

Look closer and you can see it's a bit of paper or something...which needs to be picked up....or airbrushed out (as I've done in the very top shot)! Picky or what Biglorryblog!? Well you don't need your eye distracting do you? (And my apologies to the snapper who obviously had to work hard with this one given the weather!)
