The Caper
I didn’t show this image last night in the lecture, but talked to someone afterwards about this “bounce reflection” technique. Rather than lighting the front of this bent-up ’60s Dart directly, I lit the line of cars behind the camera. These lit cars appear in the Dodge’s chrome reflections.

64-second exposure, combined warm flashlight and full moon.

Cool white light inside, warm white outside, from the Protomachine. DOF composite.
