Description


Blue Swallow Motel and Charly - There's a LOT to this image - more than meets the eye. I'll start at the beginning... 1) 2 years ago while driving through Tucumcari, New Mexico, on Route 66, I hauled all of my lighting out at the Blew Swallow Motel. There are SEVERAL battery powered studio lights set up on light stands. I took several shots with the flashes, and then I took several time exposures to allow for the various lights (streetlights, neon lights, ambient light, etc.) 2) When I got home, I loaded all of these images in to my HDR software and created a balanced image where you could see details of the black truck, details in the shadows, etc. 3) I loaded the image in to DAZ as a background, and added my Charly character. 4) Using a painting I had done, I used that painting as the fabric for Charly's dress. 5) After rendering, I had to go in post and tone down Charly's dress because the colors in it were brighter than the neon sign above her. There you have it. If I were to add up all the time spent creating this image (not counting the travel time to Tumcumcari, NM) I'd be willing to say 30-40 hours. It's truly a labor of love.

Thank you, and you're welcome. Half the fun is sharing what went in to an image. :)
