Thanks! Yeah some leave the light trails and some remove. I like them. They can be removed easily in post.

nice wheel upgrade... what are those?

Very nice

Just a matter of taste but I like the light on the windows. Reminds me of the smoke in a wind tunnel and gives it a sense of motion.

Dale, I know it's a lot of work but hang in there and one day you will be able to turn out a decent image of a car You know I'm kidding. IMO YOUR work is the yardstick to measure against when it comes to automotive photography.

Thanks Abel!! They're some cheapo Drag wheels from Discount. Thought about putting some 3 peice expensive wheels on it, but I'm real bad with curbs. Don't feel too bad replacing a 200.00 wheel. :)

Nice work ...

How long does the battery hold a charge on the LED shop light from Home Depo?

Thanks Greg!! Congrats on the MS3 purchase!! Haven't modded mine yet. except new wheels. Springs are next and then a trip down to the local COBB shop. I used a 24-105mm lens for these shots.

Nice shots, and cool little car. I have an '06 Mazda 3 5-door, but it's not a Mazdaspeed version. Still a fun car to zip around in and it has been rock solid reliable.

As for the pictures, did you think about or experiment with providing some light on the trees in back? Over the last few weeks I've been doing some light painting of my other car, and included lighting up background trees, to good affect (at least I think so :-) ). I'll post a couple in another thread if you want to take a look.
