That is quite amazing, great photography skills.

 

That is freakin amazing man. You really need to make a poster of this. This one is def a keeper

 

shutterspeed settings?

 

pretty simple task, shutter speed settings, "bulb."

 

And I just did my version of "Ghost Cat" last week. That's a nice pic Wes.

 

I have a feeling that you used photoshop to assemble the final image, since you did that on a previous one. Nothing wrong with that! However, I find it an interesting challenge to figure out how one would replicate this optically without photoshop.

I would think you'd need a double exposure. The camera remains on a tripod, and you do one bulb exposure to get the background and light trails. Then you park the car under the streetlamp and open up the aperture to get a solid image of the S in there. Of course that doesn't explain how you get the light trails connected with the solid image.

I think I might have considered a manually triggered flash to capture the car, but that would have produced a completely different look. I don't think you did that because the shadow indicates that the car is being lit by the street light.

I hope you'll let us know how you did it.
