Night Shot & Light Painted - '70 era Lincoln

[apixelintime]

Dont know if this is the correct thread for this, but it *was* transportation...

Went out last night to shoot a few things. Todd had found this car using his magic 8 ball.

These are all 30 second shots, night time light painted. Some are multi-exposure as I was not fast enought to light the whole car in 30 seconds. Tried a couple of things that I have wanted to work on and I am pleased for the most part. The sky is as the camera captured it.

C&C is always welcome.

All: ISO 100, 7.1, 30 seconds.

I think #2 is my favorite, Chris. Was it possible to maybe move the sheet metal out of the way? That would have made it seem a little less cluttered. The trees and sky are what make this shot in my opinion.

Nice work, and I'm glad the car was actually there this time! 8-)

Great shots. I did something like this in a forest with film in a forest, but because of reciprocity breakdown, I ended up getting almost nothing on the film.

I think everything about these shots is awesome. The lighting, the color, the exposure, the framing. Thw way that the trees are so tack sharp and stand against the orange sky is haunting.

Todd - I tried to move the metal bits out of the way but on the other side there was a large 'thing' holding it all down.

Ariel - Thank you! Yeah, digital has brought about a whole new reality in the dark times. Film Recipriocity failure was very frustrating.

Had to park about 1/2 mile away from where this car was positioned. Walking through a minefield of cow patties to get to it after hopping a fence to gain access to the property. Did not see a 'No Tresspassing' sign *and* it was listed as a county road so I took a chance. Fortunately I had my iPhone with a map app with me or else I would have likely not found it. Very dark out there and kind of spooky when the coyotes started howling.

I like #4. The clutter around the car is taking away from the other photos in my opinion. The lighting is spot on.

Good job!

The only thing I would change is the lighting on #1 seems a little too cool to me on the car in contrast with the rest of the scene, otherwise this is a great set!

Halloween for cars!?!?

Looks like you're not the only one that "shot" the car.

#3 is my favorite.
