After reading of
this guy's adventures of painting a car with essentially a 4 foot long fluro tube I wondered how I could recreate the effect myself. All I had was a 12" 12VDC fluro work light (plugged into the same car's ciggy lighter) and a bit of spare time, so after reading how he did it in seperate exposures I followed suit and started to "paint" the car with it.
This first shot is done with three seperate exposures (all 15s f/14), one to light the front and one each left/right.
The result, whilst not perfect, is good enough for me to share - i'm well aware that the sunroof isnt perfect and that the grill near the badge looks a bit bodge, but its all a learning curve right?
Second is the first one but with a bit of edit and having a lightning bolt hit the car (the 'bolt' is real, and not done in photoshop!), and the thrid one is side on.
Either way i think i'm happy enough with the result to try this again at some point.
