Nick I love that shot. Very steady!

Took this yesterday. Used an old Mercedes 300SE

[GTR-N1]

I look forward to your work.

Isn't it funny how when you look at a woman's face, it can look like a million dollars. I like just that single face - and then captured with "that look".

Megan always looked to me like a million dollars. I don't like putting her next to Jennifer who looks like a million dollars > Megan then looks like $990,000.

Thought I'd make the most of the beautiful Queensland weather we are having at the moment to get off my ass and go take some photos

Needed another dark filter or two to make this work how I wanted:

Got lucky and appeared at the right place at the right time. This one is pretty much as shot:

Thanks Dan, this was actually my first attempt at panning in ages! I can't even remember the last time I tried one - maybe the drifting after WTAC 2011???

I also shot this the same night:

BTW, love that shot you posted too - great framing, smooth bokeh and great, even lighting. Nice looking girl too!

Thanks man. The whole shoot lasted 5 mins. It was super windy and it wasn't easy keeping the camera still. Got the pic I wanted and we drove off

did you use an ND filter for this?

[89CAL]

Yeah used an ND and polorasing filter to try and bring the brightness down to take a longer exposure. Would have been nicer if I could have made the exposure longer then I did but just wanted to have a go. Want to go do a night/twighlight shot one day. will see how i go

A friend from school and his dad have been building a kustom styled bug for a couple years.We went out and took some shots the other night. Here's the first from the set.

[ianjb]

what you use for the flame?

[MaTBoY]

fire.

[GTR-N1]

what you use for the flame?

Lol

[ianjb]

fire.

I'll pay that. Both technically correct and a quality comment.

What I did mean was: what was the propellant? What did you use to move it around? IE: rag on a stick...

Lol

Why are you LOL'ing for?

a magician, his secrets, etc etc

I would also like to know though

[ianjb]

secrets, shmecrets..

It it's not hard to do, the easiest way would be the same as the sparkler writing

but I'd probably do it differently to most.

[MaTBoY]

Your on the right track, I'm keeping the details quiet for a while though, til I use it for a print shoot at least. I've been experimenting with fire for the best part of a year now, I want all that time wasted to have some impact before everyone starts doing the same shit and it gets old.
