Any FWIW, You can't have a 'real life' photo. Doesn't work anything like the human eye(s). With your background RR, you should know that! ![Tongue :P](https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/Smileys/newsmileys/tongue.gif)
So is long exposure photography cheating too?
....No offence or accusation of cheating etc was intended. I just genuinely wondered how well kept and clean your engine bay was pre Photoshop enhancement and manipulation and now I remain in great admiration of your work, both in what you mods you have done and your photography.
