My brother decided to take some photos of my MINI a little while ago at night....here are the results.

I especially like the one with the red sky

nice photos there

Nice photos indeed! I've tried taking some night photos of my MINI, but none of them have come out as nice as yours! I guess that I'll have to keep trying!

Very nice!!!

Read up online for lots of good tips (I had some bookmarks but lost them) and take lots and lots and lots of photos. You'll get good one eventually!

Must admit I have no idea how the one with the lights flashing by was taken. I was just told where to drive the car

I'm happier doing that anyway

That is on a long exposure where the shutter is kept open all throughout your drive. The camera captures everything over, say 15 seconds into 1 picture hence you get the desired "snaking" effect.

Thanks! I never thought about getting photo tips online! Sounds like a good idea!

Thanks for an explanation of that. I take it from your username that you know quite a bit about photography

Love it!

Awesome! I need to get some night shots of my mini. So you need to do anything lighting wise or just leave it on 15sec shutter?

Cheers

matfrost · Mar 30th, 2005, 08:30 AM

You will need a smallish aperture or you will get it too over exposed, also try a low ISO

Yellow/Black OneD · Mar 30th, 2005, 11:16 AM

Put your camera on a tripod when taking stills at dusk, as you will not be able to hold the camera still enough with a shutter speed of anything less than 0.125 of a second, and your image WILL be blurred!! The exposure also needs to be adjusted, perhaps to '2 over'.
You can make that effect with the lights by altering the flash as well, I think it is 2nd Curtain or something!
There is a link on MINI2 somewhere for photography advise! The results are great once you get the hang of it, especially with a sunset!

Waits for the photography experts to come out of the woodwork......
