Appreciate a little bit of help even though I'm completely nub when it comes to pics apart from a quick snap with my moby. :o

I am trying to get some pics to show the dents in my car bonnet but all I'm getting back is good looking pics with no dents, I am confuse :confused:

I have my moby to use & a little compact Digi but I could borrow summit real decent off a mate if I had to.
Any tips or tricks you can give me to show the dents in pic ?

Cheers in advance for any help. :)
 
I'd imagine it's to do with the lighting because it might he hard to see if the paint hasn't been broken. If you get it right it will show the dent nicely
 
Cheers Phal & Nexus I appreciate the help. :)

Here's a few I took earlier from different sides & angles but you can only see 3 or 4 at most when there is at least 25 maybe 30 on there that I want in the pic.




 
this is all about angles and lighting.

use the torch on your phone (or a torch if the phone doesn't have one) and the compact for the photos.

I'd suggest doing this at night so the torch is the only light or at least the main light.

To pick the dents up you need to use shadows so place the torch low down so it has a shallow angle over the paint work, this will create more defined shadows. Then use the compact from low down as well and you should really see the dents.
