Here are some pics from recent shoots

I don't know much about photography but your car looks clean

bimmette · 02-27-2015, 02:17 AM

Your pics look awesome! I haven't tried it yet myself but another forum member who is a photographer did it with my car (it's on one of my videos). I still don't even understand how it works, haha!

wow awesome shots! Great work, sounds very tricky!

Sweet shots!
I would try to light up the car more evenly though. Looks like your bottom of your bumpers, your hood, and the top of your car are not getting enough light.

Since you're using a tripod, you can take multiple pictures lighting up different parts of the car then combine the images in photoshop.

I'm no professional by any means and I'm still trying to figure out how to properly light the car. Here was my attempt at light painting.

Hey Sock, the pics look great and your car is coming along very nicely! Btw the M3 lip spoiler looks a lot better than the perf. spoiler! Thanks for sharing

Friend of mine actually did the shot, long exposure + walking around with a flash light trying multiple times until it turned out decent
