Car Light Trails 2

Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon 28 - 105
f/4.5 at 1/4
f/18 at 15 seconds
ISO 400

This was taken from the same overpass as the image in the previous posting but I am facing east instead of west. At a glance this photo looks pretty much the same as the previous one in terms of the technique.

The difference between the two photos is that the first one is a straightforward single shot long exposure while this one is a two-shot multiple exposure. I can't remember the order but I think I did the first exposure at 1/4 of a second to try to capture the actual cars not just their light trails.

Although you can see them if you look close, they are not as visible as I had hoped. Then I opened the shutter a second time for about 15 seconds to produce the long trails of light. I am definitely happy with the final results. I love the deep blue colour of the early evening sky.

Once again I think this is a successful experiment that I should play with a little more.
