Description
Something just for fun.It's a cheap trick, but sometimes you can get some really interesting stuff. Might post a few more.
Downtown Orlando, Florida
UPDATE:
Shot Details:
Simple really. Put my camera onto a tripod in the back seat area of my car. Made sure the tripod legs were spread out as wide as they could go; for stability. Mounted on cam is my 14-24mm f2.8 Nikkor lens; set to 14mm. I set the camera on a 15 second time lapse, and put the exposure settings to manual with a long exposure. Also set the focus to manual, and guessed at what might be a good focal distance. Set it and forget it. Originals shot in RAW.
After a few test shots to verify that I got the exposure settings where I want and I was happy with the focus, I just took off for a ride. I headed downtown on a Saturday night, and let the camera do it's thing.
Tweaked for color, white balance and slight exposure in Lightroom and a minor dust removal in a spot or two in Photoshop. Done.

Keeping the camera stable actually wasn't too difficult. The camera was mounted on a tripod sitting in the backseat area of the car, with the tripod legs spread out as wide as they can go for stability. Still I had to be easy on the sharp turns as I didn't have the tripod weighted or tied down. If the road is smooth enough then everything inside the car should be sharp enough.
