lmfao i wish i was a genius... my grades are crap but yeah... i got the basic shape of it and luckily i had a picture on my phone which i used for the lower grille and details towards the center area

funny how you guys talking about drops... my bro's tl scrapes our driveway stock height, but thats only if we exit really strait... then again.. no one in their right mind would do that anyways... haha

and i might go outside right about now just to screw around with flashes lol ill post some pics of what i get in a bit~

lol best one would be an sb-900 but thats around $450 cheaper alternative would be the new sb-700 which is pretty decent but if you wanna get even cheaper but more output than the 700 then a used sb-800 would be alright

did he have multiple flashes or did he run around with one? haha and yeah long exposure basically means your leaving the shutter open for a longer exposure which lets in return lets in more light to hit the sensor lol not gonna ge too technical about it or i could type up a wall of words lmfao

one flash. he rigged it up to some big battery and i or him would run around the car and flash it at certain points. then we would clean up the hot spots and shadows in photo shop.

hmm well imma take a guess its one of these~ they're just plain out simple and have a large output of light and well worth the money. Works great as off camera flashes

well heres 2 of some that i took. the others looked like shit so not gonna upload lol...
so yeah... the raw photos themself arent that great but ehh, mixed em together in photoshop and got a pretty decent looking pic. and realized i didnt block out the plate but ehh fuck it lol too lazy to go through and edit it out all three and the gate lights kinda screwed up the picture as well haha

ya he has one of those flashes. i think it is a older model of the one you posted. very effective.

next time try goin somewhere pretty much pitch black dark. because you have to open up the exposure for the type of shot you are trying to get. any extra light is going to be too much, like that spotlight at the top. the last pic looks pretty decent for your first attempt

:word:

try getting just one shot. do the 4 flashes and then just clean up the one image in ps.

try to avoid layering the pics. don't ask why cuz i forgot but i think it has something to do with image quality
