Shot from the Archives - Last August on our first serious trip in the van exploring West Ireland.
Completely amazing.
Picture is HDR processed in PhotoMatix Pro. Importing into Aperture and some dodge and burn, sharpening and finally a little vignette to finish off.
These and other VW images are available as A3 & A2 posters.

Went out for a drive Friday evening as it looked like it was going to be a wonderful sunset, sone light clouds in the sky 30 mins before sundown. So off I went to the location about a mile away, set up the lights and turn back to face the shot and WTF? All the clouds had gone.
Anyway, the purpose of the shoot was to get more understanding of balancing ambient light (the sunset) with strobes (elinchrom quadra x2).
I'm not entirely happy with this shot as a) the back of the van isn't lit, b) there's hot spot reflected on the front doors, c) my attempt to light the inside of the van was a little nuclear!
But the sunset turned out ok, I learnt what NOT to do and have another process to follow next time I get out. But fun all the same, any excuse to get out :)
