whats light painting ?
pretty much looks like how i always take pics of cars
I refer you to my earlier post
well it does exactly what its says on the tin
its a way in which you can make the car really pop out against the background more so than if you were to take a normal shot with the flash bouncing of the celling.
still need to paly around with the right settings but. . .
what you do is take 5/6 pictures, and in each one fire the flash gun at the car so that it lights up that area, so front, bonnet , front wing, rear quarter etc etc depending on what is facing the camera
the in ps just layer them all and it gives the impression of the car being lit like you see in these fancy mags!
lol sorry mate didnt see that bit. i always assumed it was just taking a pic of a car with flashes.
theres an easier way of doing it (which i use all the time)
set your shot up on a tripod with a shutter speed of 30secs and an iso of 100 (ap is reliant to how much inital light there is).
then simply take the pic and walk round the car shooting the flash from different angles using the "test" flash button.
its just easier to do it in one shot then 4

heres some of mine ive taken in this fashion
