clever stuff! I gather the camera is attached to a mount on the rear windscreen? What exposure is used to get effects such as these?

ElegantSpoon · 07-03-2010, 10:18 AM

The camera is on a tripod thats mounted on the back seats. I used f16 ISO100 and a 20s exposure. I fired the camera using a remote. I'm really happy with the results considering it was my first attempt.

Nice light trail shots.

The other tip I would give is make sure your windscreen/dash is super clean as a long exposure will not hide any imperfections.

In the first and second shots you'll notice that you can make out the windscreen wiper 'arc'.

You are 100% right and I got some screen wipes but left them at home in my man draw by mistake!

Nice shots.

Like your Dark Tree Blue Sky shot and others too in your flickr account.

What sort of camera were you using? DSLR or what?

When viewing the shots in flickr if you look to the bottom right-hand side of the screen you'll see a properties section which gives you all the information you need to know.

He used a Nikon D3000 (D-SLR) with the car shots having an 18mm focal length (so a wide-ish angle lens).

ElegantSpoon · 07-03-2010, 04:45 PM

Hes right

I have a Nikon D3000 DSLR its a great entry level DSLR. I've not been doing it for long so nice to hear you like some!
