Abstract car shots + 2 new images (21/3/13)

BluKoo · 21 Feb 2013

Testing out a new photography technique. Not much I can do until it's dark, but thankfully my garage is dark enough to experiment.

I like the idea, just dont think you've implemented it right.

The first, I couldnt even tell it was a car to be honest.
The second, pink, yuck. But it does look better than the first (maybe change the hue and get it to a different colour), im just not sure about shooting the arch and wheel.

I think with this process that you're using, it would be more beneficial to get the outlines of the body shape rather than flat surfaces? I dunno. Interesting concept if you can nail it.

You couldn't tell it was a car? Good. It really is abstract then - haha. It's actually a car under a cover, so even harder to tell.

These are just test shots. I'm really confined to certain angles in my garage as it's a little cluttered. When it's dark tonight, i'll be experimenting a little more, and i'll post more shots.

Here's another car shot I've just taken which is a little less abstract, but using the same technique...

Light painted 918 Spyder.

I like different ideas but I cannot see the point of this, sorry...:|

sorry have to agree but always good to at least try out new ideas

Now you see I like the Spyder shot, just wish the light streaks carried onto the back corners of the image.

Really like the spider, how are you getting the trails?

No problem. I guess it's not to everyone's tastes.

Thanks

Thanks. I'm afraid i'm not going to reveal my technique yet. Maybe once I perfect it and get some better images.
As far as I know i'm the first person to use this technique.

Here are another couple...

I like them. I did a similar thing on a smaller scale with a laser pointer, but these are a million times better.

Higgy · 21 Mar 2013

I like these and think the idea could be implemented in many different ways.

Not sure whether you see this http://www.flickr.com/photos/jannepaint/ been following for a while.

I like them, also...918 Spyder!!

I like IMG 85 best. I think the technique works best in close ups

I like the first one - the most abstract one - the best. I like that you can't even tell it's a car.

Car enthusiasts might not like them so much for the same reason but I like it when concrete, more obvious objects are abstracted so much that their definition slips.

The other ones, though the technique looks pretty interesting, are not my cup of tea. But then I'm not a car enthusiast!

If I were you I'd do some more unexpected, abstract stuff around the car but then that's me!
