Then just combined them in Photoshop and masked out the light trails past the car. Added some blur to the wheels to depict motion, and my other various photoshop things and ended up with this. I sure appreciate the kind words!!

Pretty shot - I wondered why there was white light mixed with the red lights in the back - usually means reverse - that would explain it.

Was trying to determine how many shots were composited - but great shot, great composition.

So what you have essentially noted, is that while the composition appears to show the vehicle screaming in forward motion. It is, in reality, sitting still, in reverse gear, with the driver's foot on the brake.

Makes perfect sense.

I originally liked the red as strong as it is because it added a splash of color to the scene, but I think you're right that toning it down is probably a better choice. Thanks for the feedback!

I didn't mean it as any sort of suggestion or even critique - I think it looks fantastic.

Just I do photography and so my reaction is to try and figure out how it is done and noticed the lights then.

I love it - showed it to a few friends as well and they all said it was amazing.

I didn't look carefully enough to see if you added motion blur to the wheels. Might as well go all out, as it's a terrific composite. Nicely done!

I did indeed! Just a little bit as I wanted the blades to still be identifiable. Thanks!

Alexg - that pic you took of your car... It's a great pic. It's what I use to show people if they ask and I don't have my car with me (same config).

Thanks!

That looks beautiful!

Weekend Club Drive

Forgot to post this last week. Took a club drive to the coast in good company. Folks couldn't stop talking about how the V8 sounded. Apparently I had such great traction I planted on the roof.
