As I was leaving work today I saw the fog rolling in so I rushed home and grabbed my camera, tripod, and flashlights. Before I realized, I had taken a few hundred photos... Here are some of the best ones. Enjoy!!!

and finally here is where I tried to write using light:

Thanks for the complements. I took the photos with no flash, long shutter speeds, and two flashlights to illuminate the car while the shutter was open. I had a couple of people approach me to ask me if I was "OK" while taking the photos. They seemed dumbfounded that I was taking photos in the complete darkness without flash and repeatedly walking around my car with flashlights. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. Although next time I might use a brighter flashlight.

Is everyone else able to see the photos?

what exposure times did you run these at?

film or digital?

the flashlights seem to have a yellow hue in it, as your paint is very orange. I've done these kind of shots before, they're fun to experiment with. maybe find a maglight, the light is whiter.

nice shots.

Actually the flashlights were Mag lights. Two of the 2 D cell variety with fresh alkalines. I had purchased a brighter 6V lantern to use but the center of the beam had such a hotspot that It would trace a white line across the car when I took the photos.

The last two "orange" photos were taken not with the flashlight method but under a somewhat dim "orange" streetlamp.

I have "tweaked" the hue and saturation in photoshop and they all look quite red on my Mac which is set to a colder video color temp. On my PC however the photos seem to have less contrast and different overall hue. I need to calibrate my PC's monitor.

The photos are digital using a Fuji S7000. I set the camera to aperture priority mode and shot at a variety of F-stops. Shutter speeds were varied as well.
