That's lovely

Sorry if you're fed up with answering this but that's light painted right??
It is indeed, lit with a bike torch over a few exposures
Love your work Phil! I am really inspired to get out there with my camera and car and have a go. (And it's all your fault! smile)

I have fairly a middle of the road Canon but it should still be capable of some half decent work. I also invested in Lightroom a couple of years ago for the PP work but I'm a complete novice really - as I never get the time to experiment with it. So I'm going to need to dig out a few tutorials.

I am supremely fascinated with your bike torch work for lighting your cars. How on earth do you do it and process the results? Very effective! Is it something a beginner could get the hang of or should I really learn to walk before I can run?

Also, any links or tips on tutorials would be highly appreciated. Again, good stuff sir! thumbup

Just bought a Nikon D5300 and this is literally the first photo I've taken, on auto, ('cos I don't know how to take a photo any other way LOL!) Messed about with the colour balance a bit but i'm quite chuffed with it smile Hoping to do a lot of motorsport stuff when I get more familiar with techniques and the camera (oh and buy some longer glass smile )

My first rig shot of my mates MR2 Roadster. It ended up as a composite of 2 photos, one with less blur and sharper edges and one with the lovely blur seen but a less sharp car. Much to be improved next time! I've just noticed some dodgy cloning of the rig headache

I recognise that location, security have chased me off once or twice.

I shook off some cobwebs this week, a McLaren 650s GT3.
