Show us your setup and the final result!

As above really, the whole point is to see the setup and the finish, now go practice and come back again

Ok, let's try this again

nice concept but it looks underexposed bud

I agree.

Same concept, but much more exposure. 33 in total. I only had a bare flash, so the lighting is really hard. This is my first time trying something like this, so bear with me.

Basic shot:

on the bike shot - you have the exposure nice on the setup shot - try exposing it similar to that for your final shot - just my advice.

sorry but I feel similarly about the car

Thanks for the feedback. That's how I started off, but w/out the dark areas, you can't tell it's night. Looks good, but not how I imagined it. Seems that the fence just follows too easily. I think I need to prop the bike up in the middle of the yard, so the background won't light.

Cool stuff everyone! Subscribed

set up with camera loaded in housing

^LOVE!!!!! that first one wow, great.....what lens do you use for pics like this?

Yess nice recovery

wow 8-15L would be the last lens I would guess you used for the (fantastic) turtle photos - any reason you chose that lens? I know nothing about underwater photography BTW

Such a sexy bike, Just picked up a 2011 Fuji Roubaix 2.0 in early june, put 570 miles on it! love love love it so far, the tiagra's where kinda a pain to set up at first but now that they're all dialed in there are no slippage or shifting issues whatsoever!

Personally, I like the underexposed bike shot better.

The fence isn't so distracting, and it gives it that feeling of taking a well deserved break beside an old rustic barn down the road less traveled....

Maybe as you said, prop up the bike a few feet out from the fence to give it some depth and highlight the bike more to make it pop and clone out the prop device. keeping the fence slighty underexposed, giving it that dusky/night ride feel.
