I went out tonight to do some night photography and experiment with shutter speeds and exposure times.

This picture is insanely cool for one reason - it's almost like a slow motion video. The light you see around the car is me walking around it with a flashlight. You can also see that my dog was watching and thinking what the hell I was doing, then decided to take a step forward. Taken with 30 seconds exposure at 5.6f. It was basically a "test shot" as I was setting the camera.

Here we have the good ones! Again, the cool lights around the car were generated by a flashlight I was carrying as I was slowly walking around the car. 30 seconds @ 5.6f.

The local Audi dealership and an A5 3.0 TDI Quattro. The first picture was taken at 13 seconds exposure @ 18f while the second one used the same shutter speed but 30 seconds exposure.

Used A3's all in a row. 10 seconds exposure @ 18f

I wanted to see how a close up of the Audi logo with water droplets would look like at night with the surrounding lighting and the camera. Came out pretty well. 20 seconds exposure @ 18f.

Don't be fooled! This is an A4 1.9 TDI that was made to look like an S4! 30 seconds @ 18f, yeah I became a little lazy with setting the shutter and exposure ratings...

Photographed through glass. These cars were inside the showroom. 1/5 seconds @ 5.6f.

Volkswagen Touareg at the local Audi-VW dealership. 30 seconds exposure @ 5.6f as well.

Hope you liked them. If I have time (and if it's not so friggin cold!) I'll take some more night photography trips.
