How do you pull off those moody photos often taken in bad light conditions where the car really stands out brightly, almost vibrant?

Thanks, Corin

any examples corin?

As simpo says, flash could do it, but equally there could be photoshoppery going on in pictures.

I use a tripod, a range of exposures and photoshop!

Have a hunt around for "high dynamic range" and photoshop masks. I'm sure there are clever things you can do with flashes but that's out of my skill level and budget
