The Photog Formula

I’m posting this one a day early because I’ll be busy most of the day tomorrow.

This shot was taken in Germany last Christmas while my family and I were visiting my wife’s family.  I was outside getting some shots of the streetlamp, which looked pretty wicked in the mist!  A couple cars drove by so I started taking longer exposures of them to get the light trail.

I was using a tripod, of course, and a wide-angle lens.  My camera was set to “bulb” under the Manual setting so that I could control the length of the exposure.

Here is my exact EXIF Data for the shot:

• Exposure: 13sec
• Aperture: f10
• ISO: 200
• Lens: 13mm

Enjoy!
