			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This time Richard at <a href="http://www.performancecardreams.co.uk">Performance Car Dreams</a>  had a very nice Vauxhall Corsa VXR for me to shoot.    As it&#8217;s still firmly winter time,  and I&#8217;ve got a day job,  this left me shooting at night.</p>
<p>I tried a different approach to the <a href="http://www.bendobson.co.uk/blog/2008/03/28/howdy-audi-aka-the-continuing-adventures-of-a-vivitard/">Audi shoot</a> last year,  this time I used long exposures of 30 seconds,  and triggered two Vivitar 285HV flashes manually by hand at various points around the car to highlight the areas I wanted.</p>

<p>I also tried to get a decent shot of the interior but I remain rubbish at this.   It&#8217;s either something I&#8217;m doing wrong in taking the shot,  or a shortcoming in my post processing skills (or lack thereof).</p>

<p>In other news,  sadly although my new whizzy Mesh PC is sufficiently stable to do a little bit of photo editing,  it&#8217;s not up to the job of performing more strenuous tasks without displaying a blue screen of death and then crashing and  like a miserable little stoat poo.    </p>
<p>So I&#8217;ve got to send it back to Mesh who will no doubt tell me that there is nothing wrong with it and send it back to me still broken.</p>
<p>Also,  my replacement camera that was suppposed to take 7-10 days to be delivered has not arrived,  a mere 21 days later.   Sigh&#8230;.</p>
