White GS in the dark
We actually had a break in our month of rain here in Seattle. November is typically the worst, but we've got many, many more months to go. Managed to get the Vette out for a spin during the day. It's sad when it's 3:30 and you realize the sun is going to set soon. So, finished it off with some photos after dark. It's going to be a long winter.

That second image is an especially good shot, you are a good photographer.

Yep, great photo of a terrific looking car. The second image is outstanding, the lighting is perfect. You need to blow it up to poster size and have it framed!

Like others have said...that second shot is amazing for a nighttime shot.
How did you achieve the lighting?

You might not believe it, but a flashlight and reflective umbrella. Basically, put camera on a tripod and open shutter in bulb mode. Run around the car a few times with the flashlight. Clean up any stray light in Photoshop and you're done.

Beautiful pic. Here is another night shot right after being ceramic coated. 2017 GS, blade silver metallic. There were shot by a semi pro photographer using the same technique you used.

Very nice. It's surprisingly hard to find dark places. I like the sunset inclusion. That's my next goal, to find a location that is sufficiently dark for the car but has something interesting for the background. Let's see some more after-dark shots!
