    These are pictures inside my IS300 at 30 sec. exposures. Please let me know on what I can improve on, thanks.


  • Those look really nice! I can't wait to try a photo like that, they just look so unique. Did you use a VR lens as well as using a tripod? I would have thought that even a weighty and sturdy tripod would have moved quite a bit just in the back seat, and the dashboard seems to be superbly crisp.

    Great work!


  • Anyone wanna tell me how he took this shot???
    T.T
    I'm pretty new to photogrpahy and this seems like a cool technique..
    Thanks!


  • thanks for the comments!

    goodoneian, brutus: I was wondering if there was a way to keep my hands steady haha. I will definitely use a flash, or take 2 exposures next time. Would I just bounce the flash off the ceiling of my car?

    zandman: It's a 2001 Lexus IS300. It's the older model of the new IS250/IS350

    knew it. always liked that car, but it's expensive, 6cyl and rear wheel(which is great) but not on winters.


  • yeah I just had my camera on a tripod in my backseat. I had a friend watch my camera just in case it would fall cause I wasn't confident the tripod would hold if I braked suddenly haha.


  • yeah that's a pretty cool idea, and they came out good. what i would personally try is use flash to freeze the interior of the car and then let the outside get blurred by the long shutter

    Your hands would still move during the exposure. One thing to try, though, would be to take a single picture of the interior, and then take the long exposure and put the two together in order have to stationary hands.


  • Just drive with no hands like most people today :-) Perhaps text while taking the pic.... Cool shots

    My guess would be a tripod in the back seat of his car, remote or timed shutter release, 30 secondish exposure.

    not necessarily, i've taken many long exposures which have no ghosting of my body/ hands where i have used flash to freeze myself then draw something with a light which involves quite a bit of moving.

    there was not much ambient light to speak of though, and my shutter speed was only 8 seconds long, if that has any relevance.


    edit: also, assuming the inside of the car is dark which i'm sure it is is considering it's night time, you shouldn't really see any hand movement since there is no direct ambient light on the hand to separate it


  • i like the second one

  • nice car, is300???


  • thanks for all the comments!

    tamiyaguy: I had the VR off on my lens when I took these shots. I was also worried about the camera shaking since the tripod wasn't that sturdy, but surprisingly it didn't move that much. I did make sure to have a friend, though, in case the tripod would have fallen.

    assuming you have an external flash, yeah, just bounce it off the ceiling and adjust its output until the interior is exposed correctly, or to what you want it to look like


  • Very creative...COOL~!


  • Were you using a window mount or hand holding?


  • yeah that's a pretty cool idea, and they came out good. what i would personally try is use flash to freeze the interior of the car and then let the outside get blurred by the long shutter


  • I agree that its a cool style. I rather like the 1st because it has some motion to the speedometer as well.


  • that's neat... I particularly love all the extra colors in #2 and how it shows up in the mirror as well. Neat idea. Thanks for sharing!


  • Pretty cool...I think I like the second one the best cause of all the colors. Thanks for sharing them w/ us.
