Thanks do0dz! > [@Summer jobs.](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/summer-jobs/44462/11): > > my question was, it looks like the camera missed the car by about 2 inchs. was it really that close or is it just the lens you used Ahh gotcha! I wasn’t sure what the hell you were saying :rofl It was that close; my camera strap barely missed Dans mirror lol. My original idea and what I will do with the next one is to make it look like the car is actually in traffic, so that the image created leaves the viewer scratching their head as to how it was done and/or looking like the oncoming car is ready to smack their computer screen. If I had the camera lower and right in line with Dans grille on the BMW it probably would’ve worked better. I am a big fan of rig shots that show the camera in direct line with something moving towards it, such as a road sign, large rock, guard rail, etc. It draws you in to the shot like you’re waiting for the car to move in the photo. > [@Where do you guys have your insurence, and what do you pay?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/where-do-you-guys-have-your-insurence-and-what-do-you-pay/44461/3): > > that thing needs some paint love BAD.

Haha, those are my favorite too. Gives me ideas for Halloween… I drive by the neon in that parking lot all the freakin’ time when Im on Route 9. After 10 the lot is always empty and it looks awesome. I’m the weird kid who is fascinated by neon lights :lol ---

Pics look awesome man! Negative. No off camera flash here still. :lol Light painting \> flash. I still have to experiment with it more but it works well for showing body lines. Its really tricky to do, if you stand in one spot too long you ruin the shot. Strobes have their place but the only strobed shots I like are the ones where you can’t tell they are strobed and it often kills the car and makes the paint appear flat. ---
