Default Anyone around Michigan own a Lamborghini...

First thing, I know this isn't a Lamborghini forum but there's gotta be someone on here with one.

Hi, I am a graphic design student at Kellogg Community College. I am doing a Mid term project that I want to involve a Lamborghini Gallardo or Murciélago. I don't want to drive it or anything like that I just want to take some photos of it. I know there's lot's of pictures on the internet and if I HAVE to resort to that I will but I would prefer to get the shots I want/need.

What I want to do its a thing called light painting with involves a digital camera and leaving the shutter open for a long period of time and you move a light around and the camera catches where ever the light (flash light) is. You need to do it in complete darkness or at night.

I would like to get some 3/4ish shots at an angle and some side shots and would prefer to find a background where you can see a city skyline. I want to light paint around the front half and make it look as if the car is going into hyper-speed so-to-speak. I have included a picture of what light painting. This one was done with sparklers and even though I would love to use sparklers I don't think the owner would like me running around their car with lit sparklers, so I will be using LEDs.



If anyone is willing could you please PM me. And Thanks in Advance!!!

Cool idea man. Is this for a photography class? If not, you could always create the same effect in photoshop if you can't find the lambo you're looking for.

Thanks everyone for suggesting FADI, I will give him a PM and hopefully we can work something out.

Photochop - If I have to resort to it I will. I was playing around with a picture last night, but I would really like to get the angles that I want and plus images are too small on the internet most of the time. I'm using a Canon EOS 5D which will give me pictures that are plenty big to work with.

Here is the picture that I made, I just pulled a picture of a Lamborghini with smoke deviantart.com and add the rest:

Hell yes you can get copies and we can even do a real photoshop for you too!
