...and there is my fancy studio, with my fancy lights...oh, and the dryer next to the washing machine!

Nice one Doug. Really glad you've shared this.
I found a couple of your set up photos in one of the folders you kindly sent me, so all of the time I've been looking at your wonderful photos, I knew they were achieved with basic stuff and a very good eye.
It wasn't my place to share that, but I think most people have probably imagined you have an expensive studio set up.

Doug is a great teacher too.
I didn't have a washer and dryer nearby. So I used the next best appliance. The basement stove.
The glass base was given to me by Doug. Thank you again, Doug! It has a 1"-inch hole for the guide. Doug's glass is painted black underneath. Mine is painted white. It gives more of a softer silhouette reflection instead of a mirror reflection.
A camera stand, and photo delay are your best friends. The background is a sheet of white foam from the dollar store.

Nice to see the setup behind the shot.
To my mind I like the image without the photoshop a bit better. It looks like racing in the wet with spray coming off the road.
Also I believe we have the same/similar tplink mesh extender :)

Doug, we might have to disagree if you're going to call any of your work crap, because you know I think your work is outstanding.
I have a folder on my laptop, simply called 'Doug'. It has 769 of the finest slot car photos anyone could ever wish for within it.
If there are more, please chuck them at me, they will be very greatfully recieved.
