This image was created from multiple exposures blended together in Photoshop CS6 layers using the "Lighten" blend mode. All exposures were taken with a single Paul C. Buff Einstein strobe with a 22" beauty dish attached to a Elinchrom boom arm. If you send me a FlickrMail message, I'll be more than happy to send you some information on mostly how I photograph this style and what equipment I use, along with some YouTube video links that help explain this process.

Found this beautifully restored little green Beetle also at 'The Day of the Volkswagen' the other week and as for the the image on the left, it's one I took some time ago of the front of a local apartment block, the colours and shapes catching my eye.
You can see all of my Retro VW's here:
"Looking close... on Friday!" group theme: Bokeh in blue (A blue object with blue bokeh.)
I would have liked to work on this in post editing longer and adjust a few things but time was ticking to get it added to the group before it closed...lol...anyways, here is my attempt. Photo set up, taken and edited in about 20 minutes. :)
Thanks so much for your visit! I hope you have a great weekend!

Thanks for your visit! HSoS!
A remake of an older series, made in 2015 at the V8 Brothers Show (www.v8brothers.be/), a yearly car show in Gits (Belgium).
An exercise in seeing details and using shallow DOF
Revisited after some feedback on weekly (www.flickr.com/groups/weekly/ - a great group by the way) on long series of trees ... time to exercise some other subjects and this remake might be a good starting point

Shot on four different films with four different cameras (in comments) on this day, 21 October 2021.
Here, the Kodak Portra 400, Minolta SRT102. Processed and printed by Blue Moon Camera.
Lovely to see a proper Beetle and in a great condition too.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
This was a contender for SSC this week - until I realised I had taken a very similar shot awhile back now - but did not want to waste it . The light on the Monkey Puzzle tree shows the leaves quite well I hope . Not very visible , there is a palm of some sort behind the Monkey Puzzle just visible over the top . The old VW Beetle is one big garden ornament , not seen it move for some time now and it does stand on some wooden boarding under each wheel .

1954 Volkswagen
Due to potential safety issues, Volkswagen abandoned its early iconic “split-window” design in 1953. Pictured here is an example of the follow-up (non-split) oval window found on builds from late 1953 thru 1957. VW outfitted all Beetles with a much larger rear window from 1958 onward.
Although covered in rust, this old-timer still ambles along under its 32HP, 1.2L power plant.

This was taken 3 years ago. I've always hated it, to be polite, it's crap. I've been light painting for almost 10 years now and i've never ever been in to or remotly tried to get in to light drawing. It is a fabulous art and I admire it so much, but I am not a drawer on paper nor in light.
So a few years ago I had an idea to attempt some light drawing, but because of my horrible coordination I thought like on paper it would be easier to start out by tracing an object instead of trying to draw free hand. On this particular night I was shooting my friends Beetle's and decided to give some finger lights a go.
Firstly the light was a little on the bright side for this sort of thing, Secondly I under estimated how long it would take me and was off on the settings, although the photo is correctly exposed it was not the look I was going for. Third I missed 1 or 2 parts of the car, doing something this scale it was hard to keep track on what I had already drawn and what I had missed.
In general for my first try as a non light drawer I think it's not half bad. I would like to refine it some what and give it another go soon. I have some better light drawing tools and have learnt some lessons from the first time.
Hopefully it won't be judged too harshly.
Enjoy
