Amazing flash coverage! I'll assume you used a camera on a tripod, slow sync shutter, and your camera remotely triggered the flashes on the stands? I really like how you create a studio environment anywhere. We look forward to seeing the other photos from this set.

Daaaaammm!

I've stopped by this location for the last three mornings, experimenting with this this shot. I think I finally got close with this one. I'll have to come back and try it again after I change out my wheels and grills etc. The original idea was to get some fog shots but I think the glass is pretty sweet also.

edit: Croped.

That's pretty cool. I like that location.

FWIW, I think your photo would be helped by cropping off the bottom 20%.

What are you using to illuminate the car?

Thanks!

Yeah, that shot is straight of the CF card. I only resized to 1024x768 for the web.

I illuminated (walked around) the car with a Ptzel headlamp I'd brought along. I also used it to shine on the left front wheel for the "manual" focus.

Dang that is a cool shot!
If only the shadows of those open windows and that doorway weren't there, it'd be one smooth image. I really like the idea of that silhouette prowling the night.

Info?

I like how the flash lit the roof logo. The bot dots are a cool detail.
A description would be nice too.

I have been in my own little world up here, with MMW and a few MTTS drivers coming here. Let me think about it.
BTW: my AMVIV cruise night shots are all blurry *blech*. The one in my sig only looks good tiny.

Taken earlier this month during a full moon:

I was unable to capture just how cool it was out there on a clear night with a *huge* full moon. Ah, well.
