Just won the world championship with Force India (intermediate difficultly, tyre and fuel sim on, partial TC)
Just signed to RB, starting again on professional difficulty. I might do longer race distances too, not sure yet :)
Still enjoying it apart from the occasional frustration like being...
Thanks.
Theres a lot more to it than just shining the torch on the car, im sure Dave will back me up on that! Trying to avoid hotspots and harsh lighting in areas was tricky, so you had to try at different heights and angles.
So I think it would be much more precise to do it one side at a...
One more I forgot:
Firstly, yes I know the front wheel isnt straight. Thats how the car was parked and I didnt want to hassle the owner to move it lol ;)
I spent a bit more time blending the layers together, so Im much happier with the smooth lighting on this shot, and I also...
Yeh im still loving the game. It feels great when you have some good scraps with the faster cars. Its just annoying when you encounter the problems described in this thread.
The fact that the AI sometimes forgets to pit really annoyed me the other day. I went from 1st to 12th because some cars...
Thanks again.
As far as Im aware, it doesnt have to be LED. But the advantage with LED is that it's white light. ie daylight corrected, which is much better. You could use a normal torch, but you would have to adjust the white balance after.
Photoshop :) You can see the work involved here: http://www.danfreemanphotography.com/2010/09/e92-shoot-out-takes/
As I post the original shots from the camera.
It's a high power LED torch. Approx power is 80W. I'm not going to post exactly what torch it is, because it isn't designed for...
I've had a few dodgy messages from my engineer, saying people are faster then you, even though I set the fastest lap. I get quite often him saying im slow in a certain sector, even though I'm purple!
I've got some ideas for places to do rig shots, some quiet country lanes.
If your bro doesnt mind travelling, when I meet up with Steve again around Salisbury area you can both come down. We can get some wicked locations down there, airfields etc.
My 2c.
I'm up to Valencia on a season with Force India at the moment. Tbh Im loving it, although I got so frustrated with Monaco as its so hard on a pad!
Ive only encountered the pit bug once where a car drove through me :(
I've not noticed any of the other things pointed out here. If I...
For anyone wondering, I've posted up a detailed post on how I made some images :)
Hope it's helpful

Much easier than you'd think. And yes...a lot of post work as you have to combine all the shots together.
After the F1, I'll post some original shots etc :)
I certainly am Dan! I'm in the UK for a while now so anytime now is ok for me.
We just need to think of some better locations, that's what Dave and I were struggling to think of yesterday.
I won't write too much as I've written it on my blog :)
Basically I am getting more experienced at this light painting malarky, pretty pleased with the results for a second attempt!
All photos on my blog page...
Whats the cheapest good wheel for 360? Im loving the game, but the pad doesnt do the game justice I think. I keep restarting Monaco, I'm on pole (for Force India - get in!) and I keep making mistakes. You have to be so precise, and a pad just cant do it smoothly enough I think.
Oh...and I'm up...

Normally I dont buy photography magazines as I find you cannot learn that much from reading, only actually going out there with a camera and learning from your mistakes.
I may buy it later today at...
Those photos really arent my cup of tea. Way too much processing, and random photoshop grad ND filters going on. And a circular polariser wouldnt have gone a miss either.
