The Ghost Car

[jason324]

In this image the sky was just incredible and I had this cool idea

"Hey Michele, can you drive the car left and right as long as nobody is coming and I'll grab a killer frame" Well, it worked out great and she road the brake as well, which added another light and more streaking red lines.

I used the Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 17-40 f/4 L @ 35mm, Tri-pod, and I really wanted the longest shutter speed possible with the equipment I had on hand. In this case, the camera, lens and no filters. No big deal though, I stopped it all the way down to f/20, and also set my ISO to 50 which is a nice feature!! That yielded me a shutter speed of 20 Seconds and a really cool exposure.

Cool experiment, good result. She did well in her driving for you like she were drunk, too.

And yes: that sky was magnificent! (Only does it move quite into the background with this "ghost car" of yours ).
