It took us about 20 cold minutes to get the shot.

Cool!

Sick shot

pretty sick

daddy like!

That's amazing man! What was your F-Stop and shutter speed for this?

...and camera. And lens. :tup:

Lighting is awesome.

i'm at a loss on this one, it says "5D" and "MkII" but then it says "17-35" (which i think is a nikon lens) and "nikon" so i'm like... ummmm? lol

they make a canon L series 17-35

do they? i had the 16-35 f/2.8 L (and there's a mark II version) but i don't think they made a 17-35... i have the 17-40 f/4 L as well, but that's a different lens as well

My friend took this photo. You are rit to question the lens... It's a 5dMkII body with a Nikon lens attached! The image you see is actually three exposures: the full sky and house and car is one xposure. The headlights is another exposure. The grass thats lit up by the headlight is another exposure.

Not sure on exact settings, but he main sky/house/car exposure was probably something like 1 second. Just enough time to paint a little light with a flashlight around the car.

Thanks for the comments! I'll pass them along (or you should, on his Flickr page!)

i had a feeling that was a composite shot, just didn't seem to be like you would get much detail with the headlights on the same exposure as the background... good to know :tup:

Wow that is a sick shot. :tup:

The exposure that was the meat of the shot (sky, car, house) had the headlights off. That made it easy to keep all the detail of the nose of the car.

makes sense to me, i'll have to try this kind of shot sometime. i've honestly never done any kind of composite like this tho i know how. i like to have it all in the camera in one exposure. my images are typically very close to what i got at the shoot/event but i just clean up anything distracting with clone tool and do one level of sharpening. that's usually pretty much it

Sometimes you want to recreate what you saw in real life. This can only be done with multiple exposures or other HDR techniques. As you can see, this is seriously what we saw in person, but if it was a normal camera shot, the headlights would blow everything out of proportion. The effect wasn't overdone to look "surreal"

Besides... Point and shoots are starting to have the same pixel quality etc as our DSLRs... Time to up the ante and do some strobist stuff.

couldn't agree more. i've been told the human eye see's approximately 12 stops of light, old film could see around 9 stops of light and digital is limited to about 5. that makes a huge difference.

very cool picture

Where's is E.T.???

Very nice shot! I was about to say "Man, that looks like a nice place to live..." and then I saw that you pay a LOT to live there!

Fantastic shot!

Love it! ...just wish the interior light wasn't on

heehee

It's not too bad - I'm renting this place from a farmer ;)

:tup:

Fair enough. :)
