Finally got a tripod for my camera! My good friend came into work yesterday and told me he had gotten a new car. Turns out he got an S2000 Club Racer. We had an hour before his shift started, so we took it to my parking garage and I snapped a few photos. We only had about 10 minutes to shoot, so this is the only one I managed to get. I layered about 15 shots on this one. I also forgot to shoot one with he headlights on, so I had to fake it. I had some trouble with some of the edges, but overall I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

Here's a look at the original for comparison.

I like it.. the only thing I would say is the headlights are a bit bright.

But I'm a Noob so don't go changing anything.

Nice work.

What did you change for PP?

I love how the paint look so wet. How do you do that?

Whenever I try to do bump up the brightness/exposure/fi​ll light to achieve that type of look in LR, it makes my pics very grainy for some reason.

Thanks. I actually took about 15 separate photos using one flash. I then layered them in photoshop, and used the best lighting from each shot to light the car. That way you don't have to try and lift the exposure in Lightroom, instead you can just use the light portions of each photo.
