Passing Lights

Passing Lights

Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Year
: 2008
Camera: Canon 40D, 17-85mm f/4-5.6 lens
Settings: ISO 200, f/22, 30 seconds, 21mm
Other: mounted on a tripod (required)
Details: After seeing so many night pictures with the cool car-light streaking effect, I had to try this myself. I used a larger F number (22 in this case) to get better front to back clarity, and a very long exposure (due to the low light and large F-stop). Ensure your camera is on a tripod as hand holding will not work, and even renting it on a flat surface may not work well. You may need to experiment with various speeds to get the right exposure.
Processing: Signature added in Photoshop CS3.
