Wow, fantastic shots Marc! I love how good cameras seem to make cars look amazing. Looking forward to seeing Ben's light painting shots too.

Nice photos Marc,

It was good to see you guys again, we should try and catch up a little more frequently.

Kris, I didn't fall asleep on the road heading back to mine so in my mind, that's a good taxi run! =D

Pics are being uploaded now. First time i've ever done painting with light and they turned out pretty good. Need to work on the focus but next time, it seemed it just focus on the closest part to the car. But oh well. Stay tuned.

I like 'em alot. Very cool locations.

I suggest when using slow shtuter speeds to use a tripod and even a remote shutter button. Alot of noise in some of those photos.

When doing the light paint, increase elevation and use a soft box to reduce the harshness of the reflection from the hand flash. A cheap option is to use a piece of A5 paper taped to the flash.

We were actually using a couple of torches with focused beams quickly ruining over the cars when using a 20 second exposure.

Nice photo's, derb's BG is a standout and I love the mean look marc's car has with the blacked out lights.

Maybe a good thing I didn't head over after meeting at the airport though, the red gt would have stood out like the dog's balls!
