Two flashes, Sony wireless hand held in the front of the truck and a dummy flash remoted from my pocket in the front seat.LOL

Wow, supershot! Great timing with the remote flash. Creates a surreal light inside and outside the car. Great job!

Great shot Cosmonaut - really like the clever way you have lit it. I am reminded of Mater from Cars :D .

I'm guessing long exposure time to balance ambient light, and then the timing isn't quite as crucial :wink:
It's a wonderful shot, excellent executed :D

Thanks for the explanaition Z :-)

I read an article a few weeks ago about drawing your own light on long exposure shots. Long as in ~2 hours worth op exposure. Seems like a difficult but very rewarding technique to master!

Thanks all. I delivered the owners of the truck a large print, that are still in business. They were pretty thrilled. The old gent that use to drive the truck when it was new was the most excited.
