Sky/Sea blue reflection

[3afsa]

Hi everyone
I have a problem when shooting cars, is the blue reflection of the sky or of the sea on it. This realy disturb me cause the color of the car will change and a part of the car come blue.
So is there any technique or advice to avoid that blue reflection ?

Do you have any examples of what youre referring to?

Sounds like you might want to use a polarizing filter. One of their major uses is to reduce reflections -- mostly on glass, but I think it would help on the sides of a car as well.

Here is some exemples:





So what do you think ?

Actually, I like the effect...

that said, a polarizer may help. I'm not sure how well it works on metallic reflections, but I'd give it a try!

thanks "dcclark", I'll try to buy one, even it dosen't the work a polarizing filter is always useful.
I did find a solution but it is after shooting using lightroom, I just desaturate the blue an Aqua colors. the result was good.
Here is an exemple:

The sky reflected in the metal work is actually something that's usually DESIRED, unless there's something specific (like a detail or something) that you're trying to highlight. A polarizer should fix that fairly well for you.

Yes, I like the reflection, I don"t want to loose it, what disturb me is the blue color not the reflection it self, cause a black car with blue sky reflection dosn"t give a great result for me
