Only thing i can pick at the photos is number 2 and 5 in the windscreen looks like a cd with a piece a fruit on it ( I think its actually the light on the roof on the shed ?

Not so much in picture 5 but in picture 2 its abit distracting

Yup it is the overhead light. I need to clone them out but as i said i dont have my mouse lol. Next time i'm going to surround the car with black sheets and then do a seperate exposure for the BC :D

Lol i dont even own a mouse for my MBP and do all my editing without it for hours everyday! I dont know why people find it hard to understand how i do it.

Anywho, I look forward to seeing the next set with the black sheets, should turn out wicked!

P.S. These are awesome as well ;)

number 1,4 and 6 are intense !

i dont know if you really want to share your secrets but want to give anymore info on the shots? and what sort of PP was involved?

or if you dont want to give away your secrets, have any websites that would be useful to get an insite into how to get images like this ?
Cory Varcoe

Cheers!! Agree with you there :D

Um what other info do you want to know?
PP? Just masking the shots to get the look i want, and then contrast, lots of contrast :p

There should be some good info through google "light painting" or "strip lighting" :D But i mainly just set aside an hour or so and just practiced practiced practiced

Intense indeed. You've shown you don't have to invest a lot in fancy lighting to get really good results (Y)

Cheers Talan, yeah for sure, it helps if you know people who work in the trade, sparkies, engineers etc calling in all those favours will help the budget

Hey Cory i just watched a video on light painting now i fully understand what is , How many pictures did you end up taking and how long PP to complete these?
Cory Varcoe

Usually around 6 per image. But it truely depends on the compostion. #6 for instance was only 3. PP is bugger all just masking and contrast really

Not really just anything that produces an even light. Torches arent the best unless they are properly softboxed
