You basically toy around with long shutter speeds and walk the light around the car, in a nutshell. It's certainly easier on cars that aren't black, but it's far from easy.

Ok. that is kind of what I had in my head.

I hope to learn some techniques like this one day.

your lighting everything from behind the camera?

I walk in front of the camera, then step out of frame. Just make sure you don't point the light back at the camera because it will show up.

The long shutter speed, wear dark clothing and ghosting wont be an issue.

I might be wrong but I think I saw the picture of the S2000 in the "Oh Snap" section while flipping through the new Honda Tuning. Congrats
