Thought I would share.

I was excited that I finally got off a good strobist shot with a long exposure. No layers. This is straight from the picture.

Neat,looks like an afterburner :thumbup:

 

[hedmisten]

I would certainly like to think it was an afterburner

Nice shot Hedmisten!!!

 

[rickawd]

that's a great pic

any chance we can get a high res version for a desktop?

ok, it is killing me... how does one accomplish a shot such as that? I have a nice digital SLR and i am sure IT has the capabilities.... I however do NOT... HELP me be as cool as that picture...

Such a shot is accomplished by changing your shutter speed settings. Most digital cameras have a "night mode" which will usually give you a long exposure. One word of caution though... long exposures require the use of a tripod since any movement of the camera during the exposure will make the photo blurry.

If you have a higher end digital SLR camera, you should have shutter speed settings that will allow for longer exposures. Basically, the camera was capturing a moving vehicle which is why the photo is showing a horizontal streak across the exposure while the stationary motorcycle is in sharp focus.

I shoot Nikon SLR, but any SLR and some point and shoots do it as well. You open the shutter up while on a tripod. Do your lighting, and then close the shutter. I actually did this one with a remote. I opened the shutter to "bulb" or indefinite, which allows the remote to click it open, and again to close. Then i drove the bike up, parked it, got off, took out my strobes and painted the bike only with light. Closed the shutter and cropped. Thats it! I have been doing strobist lighting (corrective lighting enhancement from off camera) for a while and I enjoy making the effects instead of photoshopping them.

I can post a high res for those that are interested.
