i want to try this! is it possible with Canon Eos 400d with a 18-55mm lens? Please say yes

The lens is more or less irelivant, but that should work well.
You will need a tripod though, I'm pretty sure you should be able to with a 400D, you just need to use the manual shutter speed controls to go around 30 seconds or more.
This was an 8 minute exposure.

very nice colors I know how hard it is to get a shot like this.

Indeed, the colours look amazing in this image! The lighting trails are awesome, and so intriguing as I really have no idea how to create that effect. I also find the streetlights interesting...while they may appear too bright, taking a bit of attention away from the light trails, I like how they seem to appear as strong beacons in the sky. Great image though, keep it up!

That is great! I am just starting to learn about the exposure times (I am quite the novice). I love this detail in this shot along with those lights.

Good, most people hate it, but I love it and always make sure to get a couple extra light sources in the frame.

fantastic shot.. im not sure what i can offer in the way of critique, as you pretty much nailed it here.. i would maybe use a piece of card to cover 1/2 the lens, to get the streetlight glare down.... but that would be difficult to do
so keep it as is, and keep shooting like this

hey! nice capture!
this is quite different from other this kind of photos..
because the lights goes so nicely, so bright on the left side (because those are the frontlights) and darker and red on the right.
nice job

I love all the streaks of colour and its great detail for a picture taken at nightime.

A fantastic shot! Shots like this make me think that the switch to medium format is something that would be very worthy. Not to say that 35mm can't produce good results, but the 6x6 looks amazingly clean and crisp. Beautiful photo.

It's a completely different experience, I can barely stand shooting 35 anymore, and I hate my 20D now.

The more I hear about it, the more excited I get about having enough cash to get a decent setup.

wow this is spectacular!
i was wondering how u can get such effects where the lights of the moving object is captured such a way?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Long exposure on a tripod, everything that's moving get's blurred and everything that stays still does just that.
Only the lights show because the cars themselves aren't bright enough to have a visible effect on the film since they don't stay in one spot very long.

wow! very professionally explained. hahas.. i still don't really understand.
*trying to dissolve text*

wow ! excellent
I don't know a thing about these kind of shots, but you must have chosen a real long exposure !?
I especially like the wide striped light line on the left side

awesome picture ... ive tried to experiment with shots like this but can rarely seem to get them right
what ISO do you shoot at, and about how long are your exposures?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I use 100 Speed Reala film, this exposure was either 4 or 8 minutes.
I do a decent amount of bracketing, it's very important to have a good tripod and either a shutter release or use your cameras self timer.
Also, if you have a mirror lockup option, use it.

very nice ... im moving more towards digital and hoping to get a new DSLR this upcoming summer
that way i can use 50 Speed ISO and set my exposure to any length
when i first tried it, it was with an old Nikon 35mm SLR and i used 100 and 200 ISO film - however i wasnt getting anything good, the only good shot i got was with a compact digital camera: [link]

In my experience, for night exposures, digital can't hold a candle to film, but if you're going to keep your SLR, it's a good idea to test things with your digi and then shoot them on film with the already tested exposure, that way you'll get a better sense of what kind of light needs what kind of exposure.
