Hi Jeroen, like the lighting around the front of the Boar, but prefer the previous ones in terms of the story content. :toast:

Great to see you pushing the camera. :wink:

I actually prefer this one Jeroen, it makes the car look very close and I like the rim lighting around the head :wink:

Did you think about removing the red tail lights as I think that this could add a bit more menace to the scene :wink:

I agree about the red lights on having a second look.
It really has been a wonderful series Jeroen. Good to see all your hard work paying off.

I like the impending sense of doom you have captured here...

A little bit of curiosity here on your techs... if shooting in manual how have you managed a -2 exposure compensation?

Hoi Jeroen,

Great shot(s). I agree about the red taillights in the third picture. A little distracting.
But still great.

Jeroen

Works a treat without the red lights as already stated.
