Lightpainting the car

After reading of someone's adventures of painting a car with essentially a 4 foot long fluro tube I wondered how I could recreate the effect myself. All I had was a 12" 12VDC fluro work light (plugged into the same car's ciggy lighter) and a bit of spare time, so after reading how he did it in seperate exposures I followed suit and started to "paint" the car with it.

 

This shot is done with three seperate exposures (all 15s f/14), one to light the front and one each left/right.

 

The result, whilst not perfect, is good enough for me to share - its all a learning curve right? :p
