Hi All, been awhile since i have posted a pic but always checking in on what's going on but anyhow last night some friends and I went out to the local sale yards to do some light painting and add some flare to it. We had 3 camera's setup and his partner took control of hitting the remote's while i did the light painting and he gave us some sparks, overall was great company and killed a couple of hours, great fun. Now i have done my car it's time to get the new Motorbike out there and add some flare to it.LOL

This shot with fisheye, i did a bit of photoshoping to take the glare of the front bumper!!

I like the concept. For some reason, I
think the secon pic is the best of the
two. They are good pics for adverts.

My only objection is the superimposed text.....otherwise very well executed

I actually prefer the first (also agree with Cam re the text) - I prefer how the car is more important and the sparks are complimentary and secondary. The perspective distortion is neat too :)

Nice stuff, the second image needs a bit of work in terms of teh colour imo. The first image the car appears a true red however in teh second it has more of a orange look to it.

Good idea with teh burning steel wool, adds another dim to the scene.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
