Great photo. The car, the light, the place, colors... I've taken it for my blog photocars.blogspot.com/2007/01/light-stripe-m ini.html
Thanks a lot ;)

Thanks everyone! I pushed the contrast a just a scosche, took out about 1º of rotation and cropped; otherwise that's how it came out of the camera. I underexposed quite a bit (-1.3ev) to try to keep the reflection of the light from blowing out so much on the windshield so you can see the individual bulbs.

I already posted 'em on NAM. ;-)

This is a keeper. How many have you taken that don't compare?

Of this scene? Probably close to a dozen, all with varying exposures. I also took a couple in portrait orientation. This was the best overall, although if I had the Photoshop chops I could combine a couple of the others to regain some detail in the reflection and light source. One of the reasons I got back into photography, however, is to spend *less* time at the computer! :-)

You use the HDR method?

This was taken in a parking garage in downtown Nashua, NH. Not the most photogenic location (or at least not what I was hoping to find), but I liked the patterns formed by the overhead fluorescents that were in every other rafter cavity or so.

This is *not* an HDR image; I just increased the contrast a bit in Aperture before uploading.

Thank you, again, for your comments and kind words, everyone. This was taken in a parking garage, and there was an overhead light in every other gap between beams. That helped create the upside-down cone effect of the lights; you can see the light falling on the wall from another light to the right of the frame. I really just tried to capture the scene as I saw it, and underexposing the shot helped highlight the car while leaving the shadows very dark.

The MINI's name is Scrat, by the way. :-)

Hey, Sid! Thanks! This was taken in the High St. garage. Looks like it's right around the corner from your studio. :-)
