Re: Messing about with shutter exposure time
 

My mum has a panasonic lumix tz7 which can take exposures up to 60 seconds. So I might steal a shot of that the next clear night :D
Only problem is, it won't let me adjust the ISO. It just locks it to 80

joined two photos bit of one to a bit of another and adjusted the exposer.

Do it :) you know you want to.... hehe

Trick is to get both lanes on either direction to have light trails (if you get my meaning :-k) oh and another car to go directly in front of you because that is a nice touch :)

Thanks Richie that's pretty good :)
I reckon it would work well on a street with no street lights, but with lots of traffic, so the only light source would be the cars headlights. If I parked the bike side-on to the traffic so they lit up the bike :)

Re: Messing about with shutter exposure time
 

yeh, your camera will not cope with all that street lighting and headlights well on a long exposure mate.
As you say, an unlit busy road is a better place to try it....or one thats lit all the way to you. Its that "bunch" of streetlights thats making it tough to get a perfect pic imho.
