TL - How did you mount the camera in the back?

Activ · 07-25-2011, 01:23 PM

What if you just did 2 shots then merged them? Do a long exposure for the outside lights streaking, then do a exposure for the inside but with a quick shutter then mask them in photoshop.

I thought about it...as I have some shots that had overhead lights where the shutter when off quick and I got a clean picture (with no streaks though).

With the open roof, I'm not sure how real it would appear. I'll try to bend them tonight and see how it looks. Shouldn't be more than two layers and the memory brush. Maybe even just do the parts of the dash that hold the lights (speedo, tach, and switches).

Activ · 07-25-2011, 02:01 PM

Yeah I think the lights would be the most important.

On another note, you should have told me you were down at the PVGP...although it looks like you were there Sunday. our events were Saturday.

Unfortunately, I didn't even think about it! It was somewhat of a spur decision of mine. I was there on Saturday. It was my first time attending and I had a great time, though, I had no idea where I was going or where to get good shots.

Very similar to what I did in the MINI, although my back leg sat in the seat belt area. Worked okay, but I think I'm going to fab something that would grip on to the roll bar. We'll see what I come up with...
