Hey guys,

Apologies for the newbie question (i'm not a newbie but i'm gonna ask it anyway).
Being a fan of a VW group on Facebook I noticed this picture tonight and was wondering how it was taken. even with a tiny aperture i'm guessing you need 10+ seconds for this, minimum. 10stop ND filter maybe?..... :shrug: facebook's lack of EXIF is so annoying! :bonk:

A tripod and small aperture(high number).

The ambient is quite low so I don't think an nd filter is used.
 
cheers dave, I was going to post the link, but I think (AFAIK), that it's only viewable if you "like" that group, so guessed most people wouldn't be able to follow the link.

For clarification, no, it is not my photo. Apologies, mods, if i've broken any forum rules.

does THIS link work for people, out of intrest?

lol. you were too quick for me! :lol: that link was only live for about 5 seconds before i tested it and realised that I'd copied another URL afterwards. It's like when you press redial on a phone and when it starts to call you remember that you called someone more recently than the person you're actually after. or is that just me?....:thinking:

Depends on how much movement is going on. If the people were in motion, it wouldn't take a very long exposure and I suspect there weren't many people hanging around in that scene; looks like a main aisle behind the car... could have been little more than a couple of seconds with the right conditions.

while this was 13 secs (people can stand pretty still quite well, especially if they're engaged in conversation)

this was 8 secs (rather more movement)

but this was 1.3 secs (not much different to the first one)

and this only 1/6 sec

The car is fairly ugly, but to label it as a toilet seems a little cruel.
