Cars and Transport Competition 6 2016 : Entry Number 60

Judges Comment

Another classic car and another piece of very well executed lighting. One of the things that I like about this the most apart from the lighting is that splash of colour in the darkness and also the fact that the car has been given some room and not made to fill the frame. Great piece of work

Photographers Comment

Thanks for the recognition of this photo, I really appreciate! The camera I used was a standard Canon 600d and a cheap Tamaron 18-200-mm lens. For the lightning I used a 30+ year old cullmann flashlight that I bought for 10 or 20 Euro from Ebay and a set of pixel pawn triggers. Well and there was also a very basic tripot in play. The technique is basically the same as in one of the Tim Wallace tutorials I found later on, on the kellbyone channel. I just didn't use a HDR as a base photo,....! Now for all the ones who don't know that tutorial,....I just framed the car nicely, then I set the camera on timelaps mode (10 sec a picture) and then walked all around the car with my flashlight and tried to take as much interessting shots....lightwise.....as I could. Finally I blended the single shots together in Photoshop!
