Shooting Cars: Light Painting w/ $40 Ice Light. Editing + Mistakes to Avoid

You may have seen my first How to Light Paint Video: • How to Light Paint - A...
This one utilizes a different light: amzn.to/2ubdSie (cheaper at Harbor Freight) set to brightness level 2.
Go through the entire process of a light painting car photo shoot to see how to angle the light, set your focus, and edit using layer masks in Photoshop CC.

I'm sorry but the image is absolutely garbage. Your presenting skills are great though.

Part of the problem is that the base image is back lit from the building lights giving a front cast shadow. Since it is being front lit artificially, the entire car is lit up but the cast shadow is still dark. This is one thing a lot of car photographers forget about which makes it look more unrealistic. Also I would’ve changed the blue hue from the led to be more neutral and bring out the grey in the car but that is personal preference.
