@llhost
I have more, but I'm really pleased with how this came out from a few days ago.
Not perfect: I should have adjusted the angle a bit for the lines on the ground, or spent more time editing them out - and I should have straightened out the wheel.
This was a quick stop, shoot, and scoot to get out of there asap.

Same day: reasonably pleased with the image. The reflections on this car though... Ugh.

If you want to cut down on reflections check out circular polarizers for your lens.

jesus, of course... I have a nice one, but only used it a few times in the past.

I second this, as you turn the filter you can place the reflections where you want them or move until most are gone.

How did you get such a perfectly sharp image at 4 seconds? Are you using a rig on the car itself?

Spent some time with a photographer friend of mine and practiced some "light painting" at around 11pm with an overcast sky.

These are some shots he got.
It rained on the way to the location for a few minutes and the car became filthy.
These are shot on a Canon 5D Mark 4 with a Canon 24-70. Most are at 4.5f, Iso100, and 30/1sec using a covered SoftBox to "paint" the light on the car.

Most shots have some composite work done with them. Details of the vehicles lights were done in separate shots and added in. This is also how to wall was lit in the background. Most shots are comprised of 3-6 exposures.

Dude, wow! Amazing lighting. Specs on the light setup please.

 

[Grimace427]

That is wild! I think the minor dirtiness(filthy lol, you should see my car) actually makes the image more realistic. If the car were spotless it might almost look fake.

Those shots really make me want to get out and experiment!!

Its worth it; go make some art!! I like that the car is a little dirty, "wet" too. Gives that 3rd dimension and it really does keep the car from looking fake.

This was my amateur effort back a few years ago. Used an LED flashlight over 30-second exposures. Rain was absolutely pouring outside and sounded like a hurricane down in the bottom level of this parking garage.
