Grainy as hell from accidental high ISO's but whatever. lol. Hope you guys enjoy. Had a blast tonight and shooting these wasn't my priority, hence the lack of artistic touch and detail my pics usually have. lol.

 

Turn the ISO down as much as possible to get it smooth and crisp, use a tripod to steady the shot, and use a longer exposure for the darker and less amount of light. Those are the basics off the top of my head but different settings for each situation. The best way to find out is to mess around w/ different situations and find out what works w/ what.

These were just quickies tonight and kinda not happy w/ them but it was a very fun night.

 

was that 240 shooting constant flames to get the muffler to glow like that? or was it just that hot?

 

haha no it wasn't

 

2nd one's my favorite. Just a long exposure and somebody driving by, right?

 

nice pic's, I would love to see some that you are really trying at.

 

love the last one specially with the 240's exhaust sick

 

lol, ever herd of photoshop?


Sick pictures and editing none the less.

What program do you use?

I wanna buy adobe photoshop but it's to much money.

 

Looking good, especially for not trying. It's been a minute since I've taken photos of my car. I always want to go shoot after you post threads. lol

 

dood where are you at? im in boone, we need an RX7 meet

 

the Sc guys are having a meet soon. https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...62#post8408362

 

no photoshop in these. haha. and thanks for all the nice compliments.

 

???

How did you get this shot in SC??


Alright tell us already, how did this guy do this? Cause that is just sick!

 

South Carolina has desolate places in the upstate... trust me, its like a no-man's land up in our runs. No lights, traffic, or anything except the mountains and road. lol. Long exposure, plus a clear night. You can see a slight hint of the stars making their trails from the earth rotating and the camera being fixed on it.

We are going again tonight and I will do a 2 hour long exposure so it will look more like this...



my shot was taken for about 20 minutes... I'll do a long *** one to add more of an effect.

Also, the 240. We stuck a flashlight down into the muffler. lol.

 

2 hour exposures??? Damn, do you just drop the ISO and use the bulb setting?

 

take some big pics for me! at least 1680x1050 or bigger ( so i can edit )

i need a new desktop!

 

yes sir... also the NR "noise reduction" feature for ones that long. I have the Nikon MB-L3 infared remote that allows you to choose when to open your shutter, and take as long as your battery will last, and then choose when you want to close it. lol.

I have seen 6-8 hour exposures as well. lol.

 

Great pictures man.

 

allen you know im really luck even though my car looks like crap now once it looks good i have the best photographer in all of RX-7club around. man your so good you could make my car look good as it is now.LOL!!!!!!!!!

 

Beautiful. I love the fact that you can take that long of an exposure. My D40 will only stay open for the longest setting of 20 seconds... Do you just guesstimate where north is? Lol, or do you have it all mapped out?

LOLs...

 

remember all those star charts that students made in High School...? haha. Yeah, I will have to get some better ones of them pointed at direct north.

I have seen some people place the north star on top of a church steeple and looks as if the stars are spinning around the top point.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

 

Damn, I shoot with a Canon 30D. Im not very good, but Im learning. I want to try one like with the stars. How much do you rotate it?

EDIT: Nevermind, I read your post.

 

bad ***!!!

 

lookin real good.
