About this is a daylight long exposure of 13 minutes.The initial average meter reading of 1sec @ f22 wasn't long enough,so I used the Hoya 9-stop Neutral Density filter ND400 to get an 8 minute exposure.On long exposures I usually add more than a stop to compensate for reciprocity failure but after taking into account the changing light and a few other factors I decided to give it only 5 extra minutes. I used the MF26 data back to set the duration of the shot and adjusted the self timer to let me get into the car and start moving before opening the shutter.The camera was mounted on a Cullmann photo suction cup that some of you already know from my 'nightride' pictures. The Hoya filter is almost black so you must put it on the lens after you've finished composing and focusing! I didn't use my fisheye lens because it doesn't take normal filters,but I think the 20mm effect is nice. The stiff suspension and bumpy road caused bad vibrations that blurred the image. It was a rainy day. No software alteration was needed. Hope you like it :-)

Hi, again, Kostas..yup, this sure was a detailed explanation, something most won't do here at UF and i thank you for so much interesting information. You really love experimenting, your delight with getting an idea, thinking it through and executing it is obvious..you make us a part of the whole experience. What i think you should do is sell the idea to some car company who is looking for an original way of capturing their vehicles. These would make stunning and original advertising..i love it! regards: kat~

Great one again Kostas... I am amazed how clear the background still is after driving with the shutter open for 13 minutes. The blurry background is really great.

You dare to put the camera on out side of the car...I gotta check that Cullman suction cup.
And your comments and explanations always helpfull, later.

What a lot of work! The result, however, is worth it. A unique picture. You are brave to let the camera outside the car, and more so on a rainy day! Excellent shot. Thanks for the explanation, it was really informative. Regards.

Kostas, I can't believe you did it, my eyes almost popped out. You REALLY trust that suction cup, don't you?! :-) Now I dare you to attach the camera on the left-hand side :-P

Btw, have you considered approaching your local traffic police department about paying you for driving around with the camera attached to your windscreen, looking like a speed radar ;-)

Thats great. Great idea with an outcome to match. Your quite brave putting the camera on the outside. I would be dreading it would come off & I would run it over. I can see we might get a few more like this from you at night! Next you'll attach it to the hub cap!

Nice work & thanks for the interesting explanation
