Nice
I take it that's your car and you stepped out to take the photo? What f stop, shutter speed and iso settings did you use? Teach me, I'm a beginner
It is yes, over a year ago now that photo!
That was:
ISO400 (could have done ISO200 and longer shutter, but 400 is still low noise)
F8 (small aperture keeps everything in focus and produces those flares around intense points of light)
3.2s shutter (what was needed to get the exposure about right)
Using a G80 + 12-60mm kit lens @ 20mm. I've since moved to a G9 with a 12-35mm F2.8 and 35-100mm F2.8. I'm also using a circular polariser filter.
Here's the JPG straight out of the camera (resized to web suitable resolution):
So you can see I've adjusted the WB to remove the yellow cast and get the car looking more natural, which has the side effect of making the white lights more blue. I'll have to review the edit for specifics, but I would have also adjusted white / black levels, highlights, shadows to get it how I wanted. I usually leave colour on the Camera Standard setting, sometimes Natural if I want more muted tones. I also put a graduated filter in post at the top, which is why the top is darker. And finally drop to 16:9 (for that videogame look) and just straightened it a bit.
