Streets/Urban Long Exposure, Highway at Night

[mrm510]

I tried a couple of long exposures on an Overpass.
I think its strange that there is no sign of the cars
that left the light trails, no blur no nothing.

If the exposure is long enough, you can actually walk around in the frame and your body would not show up. This is how some of these guys who "paint with light", do it.

Many years ago, I shot quite a bit of architectural photography and I used this method on dark interiors, especially in churches.

How'd you make the cars go away? It's like magic :-)

You might want to play with your flash while playing with front a rear curtain sync. You can get some interesting effects that way too.
