Default Few night time shots of mine

It’s amazing how hard it is to find decent locations for night time shots. Good fun though, apart from getting every drunk in town asking you what your doing

It's a result of using a long exposure, all the above were taken with the camera on a tripod, no flash and an exposure of between 2-6 seconds. That particular shot was 3-4 seconds, long enough for the cars to travel that distance.

Nice pics.

AllanP - you need to do the JDM Tail Light Mod mate



vs.



JDM are the other way round... 5 min job, and all you gotta do is change the bulbs+holder from the hole they are in... into the opposite.

Cracking photos Alan and a loverly car.

Btw, JDM tails have the round bit light up as normal lights and where the fogs are they are the brake lights. The middle are left as reflectors.
