Lately I've been experimenting with shooting long exposures from moving vehicles. I thought it'd be nice to have a thread to share examples, trade techniques etc...
This one was taken with a tripod set up on the back seat, legs wedged as firmly as possible down various crevices between the seats. Image stabilisation turned on helped keep the lens steady relative to the car which kept the details on the dashboard sharp-ish, but made everything outside much rougher.
This one was taken with the tripod set up the same as before, but looking out the side window. Things would remain relatively sharp as long as the focus was ok and the car stayed the same distance from the barriers. I used an ND64 filter for the slow shutter speed.
click em for the flicker page if you want the exif.
One shot I really want is one looking forwards (or backwards) along the road with really crisp lines, smooth textures. Something like this.
Any attempts I've made end up really rough and jerky because of the vibration from the car. I just can't keep the tripod steady. Any tips on how to do this would be appreciated.
Enough from me. I'd love to see your takes on this kind of thing.
