I was inspired by everyone's light painting here, so I gave it a shot earlier tonight. As simple as it sounds, it's not too easy to get the right exposure. These two are some of the better attempts during my little 30 minute shoot. Hopefully I'll get the hang of this. It was pretty fun running around the car during the exposure. :D

1. The rear 3/4 panel is overexposed, while the rear of the car is underexposed.

2. This one actually came out how I envisioned it. Now, I just need to do more work on my car to make it more appealing...starting with repainting the front lip.

Wishlist: more gear, and more skill to go along with it

Depends on what you view it with. #1 looks good overall, but a touch light, in color managed Firefox3. Firefox 3 "Enable Color Management" Trick.
