[QUOTE="Essence of Imagery, post: 4021, member: 920"] To be quite honest, I see no reason to stop the motion of the vehicles - it's reality - as demonstrated in this image: [IMG]http://www.essenceofimagery.com/nikonites/baybridge.jpg[/IMG] In order to stop the motion of the vehicles, it would have taken shooting at an unreasonable ISO or with the speed settings somewhere north of 1/1000th of a second. This calculation is based on the average speed of the vehicles in the image (say 60mph) = 88 ft./sec. and in order to bring it down to an insignificant movement (.088 ft. of movement) you'd be shooting at 1/1000th. That's assuming the vehicles in my image are going that slow - the Bay Bridge is notorious for people doing 65-75 in the 50mph zone. At 1/1000th or higher (shooting at a low-grain ISO) I'm not sure you'd even get a clear image of the vehicles. Perhaps that's something I'll experiment with next time I go and commune with the raccoons at this hangout over the Bay Bridge. By the way, I loved #8 of 13. Beautiful image, great capture of the lights of the city, and the blue sky - I think that one works just fine. Image is courtesy of my wife - who's given me permission to use her image. [/QUOTE]
