Challenge: Long Exposure IV (Minimal Editing I)
Camera: Nikon D50
Lens: Nikon AF Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G IF-ED DX
Location: QEW, Toronto, Ontario
Date: Sep 15, 2008
Aperture: f/14
ISO: 200
Shutter: 30 sec
Galleries: Transportation, Blur
Date Uploaded: Sep 15, 2008

 This pic was basically just a pic that I have always wanted to take, and now that I have a Fisheye, why not?... I wanted to go up to my cottage and point my camera at the north star and leave the shutter open for a couple hours... BUT no time this week =)

What I did was set my tripod up in the back seat of my brothers Honda Civic and then just fire away... I used the remote to open the sutter and hend the tripod steady with my hand... I would have gotten a better shot If I had this coming weekend to do it... But... this is still good...

I don't think it will do very good, as there will probably be many more others like this that are much better, but it was fun anyways...

-----------------

Wooo Hooo!!! Third ribbon in a Row!!! I almost didn't submit this one!... glad I did!!! Thanks to my brother for taking me for a drive in his Honda Civic so I could take this shot!

Congrats AGAIN!! My gf suggested I do this same shot and I didn't listen to her. It would have been nearly identical as she drives a new model Civic also...... Congrats.

Jeez Eric you're turning into a RibbonHawg! :-) Great work!

'grats on another ribbon, Eric...great shot. That must be one smooth ride to get clarity like that on a 30-second exposure. Now, don't let all this success go to your head, humility is the key!

Great result - well done! I saw something in your picture that's given me inspiration for a version of my own as well, but it's going to be hard to match your results, especially as you're going to go off and make a less rushed version this coming weekend, huh? :) Oh - and it might have to wait till I get a fisheye...grrr Olympus 8mm...

Great shot, well done for your bro staying still for 30s ... must have been a very straight road. The trailing lights look really cool .... though I was a little annoyed when I saw this shot in the challenge that I knew it was better than mine ;)

Great shot. Must have been a smooth ride to get the interior so sharp.

Did you get this from the back seat? Looks brilliant.

excellent kinetic feel of this image - especially how the light flows over the top of the car as seen through the moonroof

Nicely done; the open sunroof and overhead lights add nicely to the image.

very well done! nicely exposed in the car and fantastic motion outside the car. I love these ultra wide inside the car shots and this is a very good example especially with no editing!
