who was driving then paul, did you drag Fran out with you so you could get this one?
I've not read the technique in the magazine but I do like this as it's unusual.

Me driving with tripod sprawled around fron seat and with a shutter release cable to hand. Fran was safely at home indulging herself with a nice Cabernet Sauvignon.
Going down like a lead balloon though this one, lots of views, little feedback [as always] ;-P

I haven't seen this months PP but have seen this style of shot before. Your effort really works well I think. I like the overhead light trails (I take it you were in a tunnel?).
I remember seeing a shot taken from the back seat where you can see the reflection of the driver in the rear view mirrow which also worked well.

'A little different' indeed. A first-class and eye-catching piece of work.

Syunning shot. How did you keep the camera steady, a tripod?

And better roads than where I live.
Great idea/well thought out.Good luck with the further experiments.

Cheers Dave [Tandberg], enjoyed doing it so much I'm gonna try again soon.
Dave [DaveU], sorry, going back to Malham shots soon, I just wanted a break myself so I can review them again and try to be more selective of what I put up next.
Ta Mike, glad you like it.
Cheers all for your comments [& clicks],

Well done on the EC - and you said

Well taken and good driving skills!

So much for your foresight, LOL!
I have to join yuno in her amazement about the sharpness of such a long exposure in a moving car. Whatever it is that you did, it worked very well!
And congrats on the EC!

Cheers Valentina and Conrad, I was pretty happy with this when I saw it on the back of the camera, and even more impressed on screen ... that said, it's not as sharp as I think I can get it and that's why I want to try it all again.
Cheers too Adrian and Mark, not normally my thing ... but a change is as good as a rest ;-D

Nice one buddy, congrats on the EC.
Just had a thought - you need a road thats pretty damn straight for this one don't you for a 30 second exposure

Cheers Jouko, appreciated dude.
Rich - cheers mate and fairly straight yes, I actually found that if the road had a gradual bend to the right, then you also got the trails curving round which provided another slant on this.
Have posted a mod to help overseas visitors with this shot ;-D

Just been thinking about this sharpness issue on a 30s exposure in a moving car. My guess is that as long as the tripod is secured well, then if the car moves so will the tripod and camera accordingly, so in theory the shot should stay sharp.
If you think about one of your long exposure landscape shots, your tripod is fixed to the ground which is actually part of a planet hurtling round the sun at 186,000 mile an hour.
Makes you think how we ever get sharp shots eh?
Sorry to digress

It sure looks EPA'able to me. I think we're talking at least warp 7. And I don't think 'she could take it any longer' if you pushed it any further. The crystals would fuse and you'd lose containment! And ejecting a warp core in traffic is not recommended!

Nice one and congrats on the EC.
I saw this in PP too, but thought the cops would nick me if they caught me trying it!
Cheers, Paul

Great shot and you have beaten me to it, this was my plan over the weekend. Ill still give it a blast but it will be hard to beat this. Cracking image.

Actually sat next to some 'Rozzers' at traffic lights in the town centre, but as my windows are slightly tinted I don't think they could see what I was up to. Cheers for your time Paul, much appreciated mate.
Scott, I was going to wait but thought that someone might beat me to it ... sorry!!

No probs Paul, it looks like a great laught, unfortunately I dont have any fancy dials or nice chrome badge on my car so im behind already. Ill see what I come up with.

I thought this would do well when I breifly saw it at work this morning.
nice to get an EC - very different to the ususal EPZ fodder.
How did you fix the camera in place? Or should I just go buy the mag

Cheers all you guys, I must admit I am suprised by how well this has actually done.
Ade: decent tripod only, just had it straddling the front passenger seat - but make sure it wasn't resting on it, as the seat will bounce a little.
Thanks all for your wonderful comments, much appreciated.

Congrats Paul, so much for the lead balloon eh nice when your proved wrong in such a positive way well done indeed.
Ian.

Cheers Bill - yes, just goes to show how wrong you can be ;-D
Ta for coming back Tony, looks like you might be right.
Janet, you don't have to be adventurous at all, this was all shot at normal driving speeds and conditions on a normal 'A' road, not high-speed in anyway, in fact 25 - 30mph [honest officer]. I definitely wanted the reflections and so majored on keeping both mirrors visible, but on a few of them the lights were great outside but rubbish reflections, this had a nice bit of both IMHO.

Terrific photo. Very eclectic. congrats
Paul, you've inspired me to have a go at this car, night photography. This is a great shot, nice and crisp even with the long shutter. I haven't read this month's practical photography, but I surmise that the technique involves a sturdy tripod and lots of weight hanging from it.
So, an hour of photographs and 4 hours of photoshop later I think I have a finished product. I'll be uploading it tomorrow morning (US time) I'd love to have the pro's opinion
.
Thanks for the cool idea.
