Nice idea for a thread! The lightpainting should be a seperate thread I think. I'll throw some up tonight after I dig through some of mine.

great thread!

i dont have set up shot unfortunately but ill share how it was done;

IMAGE NOT FOUND
HTTP response: NOT FOUND | MIME changed to 'image/gif' | Redirected to error image by FLICKR


camera on tripod, on 12ft ladder, manual settings and remote used
Its a composite of 7 images, actually a lot easier than it sounds, fire the 1 flash at each part you want lit, ie front headlights, front tire, mid car, back tire, anywhere visibly basically, then combine them all on photoshop using layers and changing the blending mode to lighten. also tack a shot with no lights used for the background

Thanks! Sadly I didn't have the cord for my 580exII or else I would have been able to light the top of the car so that the roof/pillars wouldn't be so dark
