First of all, a big thank you to Jeremy for the use of his 66 Mustang. She was a most co-operative and willing model. No complaints about maintaining a pose, no whining about the cold ... a truly beautiful lady approaching her mid 40s.

Despite the fact that I chose the venue, I think it was pretty bloody good. No background distractions, dark - darker than I expected, because of (I think) a new moon. I need to verify that .... Lots of room to move back or forwards or around the car ...

And lots of good people with whom to share the evening. I hope that everyone enjoyed the evening as much as I did.








D300, Multiple exposure in-camera.

She was an absolutely gorgeous lady!!!

Great shots there Gary, I like the concept of the first....maybe if we lined up the softboxes to make it look like a battery of flood lights?

The second looks a bit underexposed to me, but concept of the third is very nice

Nice train chasing car sort of shot in #3. I reckon you can further improve that by putting a scared looking driver in the seat!

The first image is a great concept. I have seen one photo where someone walked around and flashed his car multiple times to make it look like a wall of light bulbs (with a twinkle because of his high aperture)

Gary,

I will let her know of your appreciation. Nice pics indeed.

Hat's off to ya! that was one premo position, we even got a look in from the local fuzz...

and I am sure she would give some of young lass' a good run for their money

I really love the first image, really looks like the old girl going down the catwalk!

Gary, you must have a cast of thousands holding all your softboxes in the first image!

Nah ... just kept on cloning the softbox in post. No, not really.

Thanx. It WAS a new moon too, btw. And no, it wouldn't have been the same without a visit from the local constabulary.

I didn't even know that blues were around! I almost got run over by them and only knew when someone mentioned later! I think I was concentrating on getting that sideways shot!

Looks like you guys had a nice night.
