I'll be sure to leave my white t-shirts at home!LOL

and this one is the car a bit further on in that shot,the sun had actually gone down but the camera picked up the glow unfortunately,it's no biggy and the effect is pretty much the same.

Cheers Dirk,appreciate it mate.

Ok,I did say I didn't want to go too mad posting pics but Ian sent me the ones he took today and I reckon there's a few 'behind the scenes' pics that are worth putting up so here are a few for your amusement..

Ian and I didn't know we were having our photo taken during discussions about the next shot,obviously my son Grant did! Cheers Grant!LoL
