Finally executed the shot I had in my mind for the longest time. After 3 hours of shooting and post-processing, I can sleep happy tonight




EDIT: Couldn't sleep, so decided to post up another one.




3rd photo of the series

I did a similar shot a while ago... click here if you want to see it... but I did not have the headlights on and I popped a flash inside the car to illuminate the interior.

I really like your 2nd shot.

That looks hot! I'm still trying to figure out if that's the LED lights on the bumper?

Haha, nah.. I wish I had the 2012 headlights. That's just the reflection of the lighting. I positioned it that way so it would create a clean line of separation between the grill and bumper.

Great shots! I've been looking into similar shots myself (just got into photography last year, bought Photoshop earlier this year). The shot I want to do is with the LED swoosh without headlights on.

I think there was a photography thread on here somewhere. You should post your pic there and maybe add some additional information (if you don't mind sharing) about how you took the shot.

Thanks!
