Night lights in Vancouver

Car driving by Pacific Blv in Vancouver Canada. On this section you can see the new Parq Casino hotel and Resort which is connected to Rogers Arena.

Camera: Canon 5D Mkiii

Lens: Canon 24-70mm f2.0

Shot @ 35mm

Aperture: F22

Shutter speed: 1/30

ISO: 100

The camera, lens, and aperture have much less to do with achieving this effect than the shutter speed does. The one factor that makes this effect possible is the shutter speed. I set this photo for 1/3 which is three seconds. it allows for everything in the frame being exposed for three seconds, including the moving car and causes it to capture the headlights of the car as it is driving by the camera. The camera was also on a Gorilla mini tripod close to the ground. The tripod is also essential for keeping the camera steady for the three seconds.

Hello @Dwaldner ,

Thank you for sharing this amazing photo with us. what camera did you use?

I’m not a photography specialist, but as far as I know, in order to take such a shot one plays with the speed of the lens of the camera! Am I right?
