I totally agree. He did a great job with them.

I will also say that the 2nd and 3rd pics that you took are nicely framed with the backdrop. You have a good eye for composition.
Kudos to you for such a photographic car!
Thanks, sometimes I get lucky. Wish I had a better camera sometimes.

I think it's gotta be said. You have the best looking purple car I have ever seen

Light painting is a lot of fun; a little technique heavy, and time consuming, but worth the effort In my camera bag I just have a bright LED flashlight, and a photographers light wand (a lot like a drop light for working in the garage, but difused, and measures more powerful), and that's all I used for this image. It was so dark you could only make out the silhouette in the base exposure before I added light to it in subsequent shots.

Thanks for the comment and thanks for the tip. When he did my pics it was pretty dark out also. I’ve never seen it done so I had some reservations on if it would work. I’ve seen pictures of this kind of technique but didn't know how it was done. Pretty cool.

I’m very curious. Do you do this with a tripod and a long exposure? My initial impression was editing software was used, apparently not the case.

The photographer that did mine did a very long exposure time and the tripod.

Even better the second time around. Wish a purple one was available when I was looking.
The pix are very reminiscent of those posted by our dear departed Mr. Bill.

They say "once you go purple, you never go black". Since I'm stuck with black, I can only admire your style.
