Police Car at the Power Plant
Lens: Sigma 28-80 f/3.5-5.6 II Camera: K100D Photo Location: California ISO: 200 Aperture: F5.6 
Posted By: scotty707, 08-21-2013, 10:08 PM

This is actually a composite of three separate exposures:
1. 20s with a pop of the on-camera flash to get the car and background with the car's lights off.
2. 3s with no flash and just the car's overhead lights on.
3. 3s with no flash and just the car's headlights on.

Stacked the exposures in Photoshop with Screen mode blending.

I had tried to get a similar picture with a single exposure, but the built-in flash didn't light up the car enough with the overhead lights on, and a long exposure caused the overhead lights to blow out the whole picture.

That came out nicely. I need to do something like that, but I don't get out much at night, and there's never a cop (car) when you need one :-)

I guess I'm lucky to have one then.

Not bad - I need to try stacking as well.
