I took about 20 pictures of this cab trying to capture the sheen and did a very poor job of it. After looking the pictures over I find I did a great job of getting my fingerprints all over it. In person this one just dances! My wife said "OH MY" when I showed it to her. I need photography lessons next. in the light box without a flash Same position with a flash cab slightly tilted with a flash One of these days I will learn how to take a good picture. Thanks for looking..............Tony

Those whitish areas in the pics with flash "say" a lot about the sheen of the cab, to the ones that know to "listen". Maybe the pics are not the best, but the cab is.

Just want to add this: The interesting thing about taking a still picture like this is that the sheen/flash reflects light. What your eye sees in person as brilliant can show up flat and absence of color in a pic. Getting the light right to take a pic can be the tricky part. Try to adjust brightness, diffusion and direction of the light. I tried a pic in front of my big vanity mirror and it lit up the cab, only thing was, from the still pics you couldn't tell that it all was flashing from the inside of the cab. Adrian is right, a trained eye can tell what that white stuff in the pics really means.

TOny:
The pics are often more of a problem than the cabs!!! This looks super you can see the variations in color and can tell it has great flash and is nice and shiny!! Glad to see you cabbing, how long to cab your backyard??

I bet that is a real beauty up close and personal! I can see that there is a lot of flash there and I know I can never capture it with my camera either! Fran
