Trying new things with the camera

[98viperGTS]

A friend of mine was showing me how to use my camera and these are some of what we came up with.

That looks awesome! Makes it look like the billboard of a car-themed restaurant where half a car sticks out of the wall
I take it you used a special flash setting?

VERY COOL

Those first two are very cool, how'd you do it?

That's a new avatar shot. This does look good and also interested on how the pictures were taken.

We took these at night in my garage. It has to completely dark. Then you set your camera to a 30sec shutter speed. Once the camera goes you then trace the car with a flash light and where the beam hits the car is what the camera sees. It is challenging to get the outcome you want but practice makes perfect. I think that we had the aperture around 8.

That is a very cool idea. I am totally going to try this the next time I see my sister because she has a really nice digital camera that will probably allow you to play with those settings. I don't know much about photography so I generally lean on her to take cool pictures.

It is a canon XT. Nothing very fancy, but it does the job.

Looks awesome! I don't think it would look as cool with any other color car or even a different model of Viper. A blue GTS seems perfect for that style of photo. Thanks for posting it!
