Motoring Monday: Mazda

(Dear Lord, how’s that for an alliteration BONANZA?)

This is a shared photographic assignment with Brigid. I look forward to seeing what she comes up with later today! (It’s Monday here in England, but it’s not in America… so I’m cheating a little!)

The brief was “It can be of a car, or a study of a certain part of transportation.”

I give you… the Mazda RX-8, under a rather lovely Sussex clear sky and full moon.

    wow was this photo retouched? this looks verry surreal. great job, Basti (ha, can I call you this? I’ll refrain if no)!

  2. sebastian:

    No, I just abused some natural light that isn’t at all obvious from the photo

    (The car isn’t golden… it’s silver)

    It’s just an incredibly long exposure — I’ll post some of my other very-long-exposure photos from my ‘formative years’ so you can see some of the effects… they’re pretty dreamy and magical!

    Basti is OK!

    ooo i see what you mean. havent experimented with long exposure. i dont even know how. i assume that has to do with shutter speeds… and WHERE IS THIS POST? i dont see it in the main page.. i have to go to the direct link fr. your twitter URL . weird!

    Hm, it should be down the side under ‘Challenges/Assignments’ … as I said in my ‘catch up’ post last night!

    30 second exposures on tree + sky can be a lot of fun… give it a go! That’s what digital SLRs excel at — experimentation!
