Light speed

Photographer waves light bulbs in the air and paints supercars. Who needs Photoshop?

Give us some crayons and a few e-numbers and we’d come up with some dodgy-looking supercar creations – quite unlike the paintings you see before your very eyes.

Marc Cameron and snapper Mark Brown have gone nuts with a long lens and some light trails to paint some of the hottest supercars known to TopGear (and of course, ‘man’).

Brown said: “Using extended exposures I am able to step in front of the lens and paint with light using the camera as a canvas.

“The technique I used is something of a trade secret”.

This can only lead to wholly inaccurate TopGear-style speculation as to how they did it. But we reckon...

After a marathon session of Streetfighter II on the SNES, Marc emerged victorious, only for Mark to rise up and claim “you only won ‘cos you was Bison”.

Incensed, Marc ran for his ‘Star Wars Force FX Lightsaber’ and began swinging wildly, laying waste to the reams of KFC boxes littered across the front room.

Desperate for a shield, Mark reached for the nearest weapon – his long lens camera – and began snapping away in the hope of appealing to Marc’s non-violent side.

Once they had finished duelling, they realised the images looked exactly like iconic motors both past and present. And three motoring blokes off the telly…

Can you name all the cars? And what do you reckon?

Hang on a sec, isn't that one of the Charlie's Angels on the right?
