I think I need to start using my fifty more often! It's taken a back seat since I got my sigma 2.8 24-70  :undecided:



Got a question for you guys as I know there's a few of you that have pulled it off perfectly. Could I get some good advice/info on how to do the shots of the driver on a long exposure? It's going to be my shot for July's photo competition for my local vw club :) The theme is "Perspective"  :shocked:

set your tripod up in the back of your car and set the shutter speed to 1" may need a ND filter if its during the day time

By no means the best photo (was taken on my OLD Sony 3.2MP camera a while ago now) but watched a program on Concorde on BBC4 last night and it reminded me of this photo. Used to fly over our house every day a 5:10 on the dot, no matter where you where in the house you would hear her, she has been sorely missed :(

According to my computer it was taken 30 July 2003.

Some more great shots there stink - what was your lighting set up for the shots?

So what kind of speed is best? Nice and slow on a smooth road? My jetta isn't exactly the smoothest of rides!
