Well it didn't quite work, shot at 200 ISO 111 secs 10mm

what do you think ?

I did take my Diana out tonight and rigged it up for a long exposure, I will have to wait to see the results as it is film, but meanwhile

Thanks as always Smile

Constantly inventive, Diana! This strikes me as sci-fi: tilting the screen back at a certain angle suddenly blacks out the b/g to leave a sinister shape morphing into two wheels and a red light held together by very dynamic highlights. Fascinating.

Great shot. How did you get the light around (underneath) the car: did you paint it with a torch?

Cool thanks very much, yes I can see that Bill, now there is food for thought ..darker backgrounds then thanks

'tis an Audi yes..Wink

Yes only lightpainted with a torch across the car and around it.... the idea is to lose the door so that you can see the inside without seeing the door at all, so it didn't quite work but thanks for the C&C's

Thanks John it does work better large indeed Smile

Stace I will never lose my Pea identity with you will I? I will have to do some more Peasing images just for you


Quote: Diana, Dianna, Diana I'm really confused. This really works for me though.

My name is Diana, the only name available at the time of joining was Dianna, so I took that and used it, then I had an identity crisis....who was I really? Dianna or Diana, I checked the other Diana name out and she has never uploaded so I asked if I could have that one and the great EPZ Gods said nope in case she comes back and uploads at some point, so it is Diana

Yep, I have it in my head how to achieve a better effect and am going to try again later

Thanks all
Diana

Watcha Dianna,
well taken shot, clever bit of work, praps needs a touch of cropping, possibly too much dark, a little ovewhelming, there again, that is the nature of the dark.

Diana doesn't have a tripod fitting then; get your self a 1/4 whit nut and superglue it to the camera, fit any standard tripod then.

Neat idea. There needs to be more car outline visible, as it blends into the background too much here.
