I believe it was group member @brucegrant that posted some old rusted out cars sometime this past summer. His post sparked an idea in me. I live near the Occoneechee Speedway in Hillsborough, North Carolina. The speedway was one of the first 2 NASCAR tracks to open and is the only remaining dirt track.
Anyways, there are two old rusted out race cars left on the track. I was going for a kind of an eerie spooky vibe as that's the kind of vibe I get in general at the speedway (it's in the middle of the woods). I wanted the background to be dark but the car still bright so I used a few flash pops to light the car while also keeping the background darker.
In post, I composited the flash pops together. I felt these looked better and were more of what I was going for in black and white. I also decided to have some fun with it and added a skeleton "driving the car" with generative fill in photoshop. Just in time for Halloween. Any feedback would be welcomed.
