The challenge was to create a picture that is primarily black, with a splash of colour. I hope this does the trick!
I wanted to try something a bit different, so I managed to convince my husband to drive me up and down the motorway in the dark with my camera on the dashboard in long exposure mode.
I love how the lights are zig-zaggy due to the movement of the car.
Here is the result...
I hope you enjoyed the image!
Thank you for stopping by.
Much love, Cheryl :heart:

Very cool. You got a really nice result to your experiment.
I have a photographers question. How many frames to get this result?
I tried some long exposure movement type pictures back in my film days. Probably my best success was racing situations where the car blurred out and the background was relatively stable. This is an interesting concept that has me thinking....

Thanks Big T :)
I am not sure I quite understand the question (still a noob lol). There is only one shot here, but the shutter was open for 6 seconds. So I think 1 frame?

No. I'm wondering how many frames you edited to find that shot. I have been known to throw out 30 to get the one.

I took maybe half a dozen shots in total before I found the one I wanted lol

How many takes to get your final one? I used to do the open shutter with the camera resting on a tripod but haven't tried this before.

Wow! Usually the rule when you are using long exposure is to make sure your camera is steady. But that's the thing about photography. The rules are there for us to break them and create magnificent photos like this. Amazing capture as always. I love it! 😍😍😍

Cool shot. I never thought about long exposure with a moving camera. But you got a nice result.

I know this effect!
My husband did something like this a couple of days ago while we were playing fireworks. I haven't had the chance to post it yet !
Really cool effect...

I'm glad you specified you got your partner to drive you around, I was otherwise going to commend you on the cool looking shot and demand assurance that you weren't opereating the vehicle and the camera simultaneously XD

To be honest, it wasn't all that hard! I just stabilised the camera on the dashboard and set the exposure time to 6 seconds and pressed go! My husband did all the hard work driving the car hehe ;)
