This is a bit of a gear question and a bit of technique question. I like to shoot cars at sunset. The challenge, as with any subject, is that if you're looking to get the sun set in the shot, the car winds up looking like a dark blob. I've tried using a flash and find it no better than--often worse than--without flash. Same when I try to shoot in other low light like museums.
I've been on professional shoots where the photographer meticulously lights the car with all sorts of equipment and one or two assistants. My question, as a hobbyist without the money for serious lighting gear, is whether it's possible to approximate the effect with an electronic flash attached to the camera. If so, are there any particular flashes that are better than others?
