Thanks all for the kind words, it helps keep me inspired.

What a great picture! I'm a beginner, would love to be able to use my camera like that. Would you mind talking me though how you got that shot? Did you do much to it in photoshop or whatever? I'm hungry to learn! (got an EP3 and 20mm 1.7, but live in the UK where there's a lack of both deserts and Camaros).

Very nicely done.

There wasn't much done in photoshop, just some resizing for the web, some contrast, a tad noise reduction, then sharpening.

My E-pl1 is set to Vivid which helps (IMHO) with the color.

Camera was set on a small gorilla pod, with the 12 second anti shock shutter delay, when the shutter fired I walked in front of the car (in between the car and camera) and lit the car with a small led flashlight. I made one slow pass then went to the camera and waited for my image, and this was it.

I had wondered how the lighting of the car was achieved.

since the shot is 15 seconds long and I am moving, the lens/camera doesn't catch me so I don't show up in the photo.

one thing I didn't mention, is I manual focus on the car after the camera is on the tripod and set to whatever angle I want.

to focus in pitch darkness, I have a battery powered spotlight that I shine on the front hood or a wheel, then I focus on that. Once focus is achieved I removed the spotlight and prepare for the shot, with the led torch, getting ready to light paint.

Thanks LittleMT! I'll give it a go next time I'm out the city.

Well done Lucille ..
U are the queen of low light photography and long exposures..
Cheers
