Interstate travel

[dalmorloson]

My first attempt at bulb mode. I just got my first slr and have always wanted to try this. Itook this pic around 11:00 pm tonight on a bridge above the interstate highway (about froze as it was 25 degrees out). I mounted my T2i on a tripod with a cable release and tried many different exposure times. The EXIF will give you the settings.



Canon EOS REBEL T2i
Exposure 68

I recently purchased a new Canon 7D and tripod and though I would experiment with some night photography.

A section of the Hume Highway leading out of Sydney (the main road link between Sydney and Melbourne) has just been resurfaced.

Nice shot at the top. I like the effect on the street lights. Got a remote cable on the way in the post, should be here tomorrow, looking forward to trying the bulb mode!

Great long exposure. I keep ont he lookout for a good spot myself because I have yet to do this. Until I find that perfect spot, I'll just keep looking.

Great job
