THought to get out at dusk to look for some views in the bush and came across this road that looked to be an OK subject...

Wow, that is rich and sharp!

I see a lot of long-exposure shots that have a bit of softness to them, but yours looks really tight.

Thanks. I made sure to stop down and get a long enough exposure for the shot.

EXIF should be intact... f/11 I believe at ISO 200 for 25-30secs or so... (sorry I'm a little vague with the details)

Nice shot, love the way the car lights came out, good choice. EXIF says 1/.03 or 33.333... seconds, heh.

Thanks guys.
Much appreciated.
Could only have been a 30sec exposure (didn't have my shutter release cord with me then...)

This has to be one of the best long exposure car taillight shots I've ever seen. Well done!

Many thanks Marc & Mike.
I'd been looking for a tight S-shaped road to do this for a while.
Just wished there were a more interesting background...

Ash, this is very good. I tried a night shot myself just some days ago, but this one is very much better. Great, thank you for posting!
