    Went out for some pitch black night shots of the Caliber SRT-4. I wanted to get better at shooting at a black car in the middle of the night. I think I did "okay." Light Painting is a technique that needs to be constantly Practiced

    Shot with a Sony A65 and 35mm Prime

    Those are great! What kinda set-up are you using as far as the light painting goes? I like the halo-ing effect you have on the asphalt underneath the car. (especially the first one)

    I am just using a single 15LED lamp thingie I got on the cheap lol. Its not much but it blasts bright enough to create the lighting I need for these shots.

    I just use a Long exposure (around 10 to 15sec), shoot at around ISO400 to capture in some stars, and hope I light correctly. Always shoot with the timer as I have to be the one running around the car lighting it the right way for the angle I am aiming for.

    Its fun stuff, and I am just barely starting to really break the ice on this technique. Its tough!

    Having a wide open prime lens helps big time as well!

    Thanks for the comments!
