Favourite Photo Of Your Car!

[craig R33]

ha ha, thanks for that! was just starting to get bored of my other wallpaper

[SLED]

thanks for that steve....looks good on the Dell 22"

Port Adelaide was exactly where I was thinking but trying to find an area with no or very little traffic could be an issue......unless its 4am.

Over a bridge to get that curved effect then photoshop the car out, leaving the stove trails, would be good but you don't want another car crossing while the shutter is still open.

you dont have to edit it in photoshop mate if the shutter is open long enough theyll just be a stripe

how do u get the light trail??

you just use a tripod and a long shutter speed if you look at this one closely

youll see that theres a white line on it where i was actually on the way back before the shutter closed.

[rad100]

wow that is trippy! how long till the shutter closes?

wat camera?

i want one! lol

[SLED]

cool.....do you remember what shutter speed you used and what speed the car drove away approx.

[shy_s6]

mick what size n offsets are your cr kai's?

any side on pics that show the angle of the spokes?

im using a 400d

about 2mins it was open maybe 3

cool.....do you remember what shutter speed you used and what speed the car drove away approx.

shutter speed was 3"2.... drove away at drag launch after sitting for about 30seconds

wheels are 18" x 9.5 all round offset of 30 i think will have to double check the offset though... let me find a pic...

[mick-skyline]

pic of the damage on them but you can kinda see the angle on them too from it...

hmm, ok.....so was the shutter open during the 30 secs that you sat there cause I would've thought the car would be visible if that was the case

it was.... i was tryin to get the lights to be a bit brighter. car would only be still there if i stayed for more then half of the shutter or it was brighter out i think could be wrong though, dont really know why its not...

thanks for the info....always good to ask which saves us experimenting too much

^^ that pic was taken at about 11pm by a Canon EOS 300D with 8 second shutter speed at ISO-1600

^^ that one is a 56 second exposure at ISO-100

best one so far, shame its an old pic lacking a lot of mods. but as strange as it sounds, to get a good pic of ur car, its not about the car. u need to consider background, theme, time of day, locations of the objects in the image, etc. quickly taking a snap in ur driveway after u washed it wont cut it

and i managed to take this on a shitty 2mp nokia.

btw its not a skyline
