..highway photos with long exposures. I decided to do some the other night. Along with one shot of where my brother and I were standing.

Those cars must have been going REALLY FAST

[03ZizzleBabe]

I love photos like that.. I should look into investing into a camera that can do all the different shutter speeds and stuff...

where was your spot? I used to live a block from the footbridge over 294 right between ogden and the hinsdale oasis

[CrazuEM1]

i went over to the footbridge in elk grove near the biesterfield exit off 290/355. too cold this time of year, so im gonna scout some more spots once it starts to warm up.

Haha, I love how in the first and sixth pictures you can see the asshole that pulled across two lanes of traffic to get off the off-ramp.

If i were to guess.. i would say he is unsing a
Canon EOS digital Rebel
20sec shutter
F/36 aperture
55mm focal point
ISO 200

actually, it wasnt a guess :P

[CrazuEM1]

Canon EOS digital Rebel XT
30sec shutter
Actual Aperture Unknown
between 40-45mm focal point
ISO 400

Pretty sure thats what they were set at. at the time of a majority of the highway shots. Although I'm quite the beginner so I may be mistaken.

one thing to keep in mind, you do not have to have 30sec shutter speeds to get the same effect.
if you look at photo #8, and photo #3

photo 8 was taken @ 6 seconds, and photo 3 was taken @ 30 seconds.

you get the same effect for both shutter speeds. BUT the thing about long exposures is that it really kills battery life.
im sure you were fine for the night. but i would suggest trying to keep the shutter speeds under 10 secs. there is going to be a night where you forgot your spair battery, and you forgot to charge the one in your camera(we all have done it)

but as i said earlier, this is why its good to study your photos afterwards. all you have to do is
right click over the photo file,
"properties"
"Summary"
"advance"

Youll get to see some of your EXIF data.

but once again, its always a good habit of preserving battery life

if you have any other questions, hit me up
