Re: New 337 night shots (602crew)

This is how they were done:
I set the camera down on some foam on top of the ground.
Used my remote shutter release on my camera and turned the shutter open on the "bulb" setting. The camera's flash fired at that time.
I then used an external flash which I hand held and fired that soon after.
My girlfriend knew that after 2 flashes was her cue to turn on the lights and coast the car forward.
The shutter of the camera was open for a total of 13 secs.
Since cameras pick up the brightest light first, that is how you get the steams of light. It was too dark for the camera to pick up the car so that is why i hit it with the flash twice.
The second picture was done just the same but she put the car in reverse after the second flash. Total exposure time of that shot was 12 secs.
