Nightime Murcielago shots

[diablo_pete]

Here's a couple of pics done by Andrew (AndWhyNot of PH). Thought I'd share them. He uses a lightpainting technique whereby the all the reflective light is applied using torches etc on long-term exposures. It gives some great results as with Gring's Gallardo which we did on the same shoot.





My SV done a few months ago.

LOVE the Diablo one!

[CraigW]

yeah really fantastic

[Gring]

I love the first one.

The SV shot is great... love it. I think night time shots without good lighting for the Murci don't work well because it's a dark colour and you can't see the detail in the car.

Interesting feedback, I know what you mean although I think it's characteristic of the style that you get extreme contrast from darkness to the highlights which really just pick out the form rather than details. Having said that, there's more detail visible in the high-res versions.

The offer's there... I'm less than half-an-hour from S.Harting next time you're down

100% crop from the first - any better?

And,

I've got an idea for your lighting which could help - I'll flickrmail you later

you are a very talented man, fair play.

Is this something you offer to paying customers?

I know what you mean. I think it's more to do with the background actually rather than the car. I like the 2nd shot, it's just the first shot is very dark, would make a good HDR though if you had multiple exposures

I love those first two shots - do you do desktop wallpaper versions?

Love them all.
