first attempt at drag shutter shot. quick and dirty. not very happy with it. but here's LCI Tail Light installed with Bruce's cables.


...more to come, i think.
WOW ... IMHO I'd say that's a GREAT shot ... as good as some Promotional ('professional') photo shots I've seen ... do you do this for a living?? If not, why not

Hope you don't mind me asking.. what ISO and aperture settings did you use for this?
ISO: 100
aperture: 16 or 22.
exposure 20 seconds.

Wow that shot is crazy good. So it was on a tripod and you drove by it slowly? You know its a great shot when people are asking how it was taken.

In a previous post he said no tripod which is puzzling to me. Seems quite a task to hold a comera that steady for 20 seconds to yield that great picture. Nice work.
