Fantastic photos. Where we live we'd have to sit up for weeks to get that many car lights!

they are fantastic.
do you need to play around in photoshop (or equivalent) to get them so vivid?

Yes and no - the top one was achieved by tricking the camera's white balance.

Most of it is from the camera - some are helped.

Noice work (And my dad was a professional photographer so I know my shit!) I am amazed at the fifth picture. How the Fark did you manage to photograph the only 4 cage drivers in Auckland that actually indicate when changing lane! :rof:

Definitely want a calendar if and when you create one. Heck if you give me a decent price, I'll buy a few and send them around to my parents and mates.

I want an autographed copy for myself, been following your work over the years and it just gets better.

That's quite amazing what a 30 second shutter can do in terms of showing how dumb cagers drive...

But, shit those last three are funny.

True but I don't think that was what you had in mind when taking those shots.

Also out of curiosity, do neons show up in these type of pictures? Like those boy racers with them under their car?
