Midnight Club: Genting Hillroad Racing

i wanna ask all of u..digital camera can be used to take this type of photo meh??
or this photo can be taken by dslr only??
i have a digital camera only..wish to take a photo like this

I has been using DC to snap... just switch to shutter mode...

old Mercedes aint it?
btw, the smart tag holder is a little distrated, over, great shot

Wow!!! Lovely. Nice curvy road. Too bad the traffic is light. If jam like MRR2 , I'm sure the light trails will be nice .

p/s - Is it safe to go night time photography at Genting? Always hear people being robbed on the way down .

Added on August 24, 2009, 10:08 pmThank you for the nice comments. Yes . The smart tag holder spoils everything. Maybe one of these days I will retake the shot with holder removed. I pray toll wont go up before then.

hey, im also a nikon D90 user.. but im very new.. i have some questions for you.. not sure if u could help me out here?

Q1: is the metering on default mode? can we really adjust it? under what circumstances should we adjust it?

Q2: frm ur picture, u mentioned ISO: 1EV under 200 = does this mean +1EV?

Q3: u meantioned "filter = no" - may i know what is this?

Q4: wonder if i can be able to take these sort of pictures with the original lens? cos i just bought this camera.. wanting to learn the basics first..

hope u can help!! thanks!!

btw, im referring to your 2nd picture.. it's GREAT...!!

Congrats on getting the D90 . I use that one too. Wah ... so many questions. I try to answers all.

Q1 - Yes. I use the default which is "matrix" metering most of the time. You can change to spot metering or center weight metering. You can leave it at matrix most of the time and it will be fine. When to change? You can change anytime you like. Best to read up and understand what the different metering mode do, then you will know better when one is more appropriate than the other.

Q2 - The D90 does not have ISO 100. Lowest it goes is ISO 200. To go lower, they have this -1EV. Probably because when you push it lower, the sensor output will be degraded (I think ... less dynamic range?) .

EV = Exposure Value. I also blur blur and dun know everything. Can read more here (wikipedia).

Q3 - No filter meaning I remove the Hoya skylight filter that I have on my lens. Sometimes when you take pic of bright lights, the light is reflected from lens back towards the filter and then back again into the lens and sensor resulting in flares. So I removed the filter to prevent this. Got some flares/ghosting in the second pic.

Q4 - The original D90 lens? That be the 18-105mm f3.5-5.6 G ED VR lens? That be one excellent lens. Very very sharp. Definitely can take these light trail pics. If you want to learn the basics, this lens will do just fine.

If you have lots of questions, better post it here. A lot more people visit this thread than the gallery thread. So more people will be able to help you.

Added on September 29, 2009, 8:47 pmFor nice light trial pics, should target roads with massive traffic jams. Then gerenti get nice light trails. In KL ...massive jams should be easy to find..

hahaha... you're very cute.. well u dont have to sweat over my questions... LOL.. anyway thanks for your reply!! only u replied to my questions so far!! haha...well i roughly get to understand the specs that u guys r discussing bout.. except the 'ghosting' part.. oh ya the thread that u gave me i thought it was for ppl who intend to buy n sell Nikon? i dont see anyone posting questions there..

one more question.. how to create the thumbnail for the topic i have just posted? please comment on them.. i need your advice..

Huh ... the thread suppose to be discussion about D90 camera. But all the gearheads talk about is wat to buy. Buy buy buy. One a while there will be some good discussion about photography.

How to create thumbnail? Only thread starter can do it. There is an entry for the thumbnail. So you gotta choose a pic and enter the link there. I tried a few pics. Some do not appear. Maybe there is a size restriction ... I dunno.

You can take these kinda pictures with any lens lol. don't think sharpness will be your priority in these kinda pics, unless you plan to print it out REAL HUGE

recomend use full manual though. more control over stuff

set aperture to smallest(f22 maybe?), and set the shutter speed REEEEEAAAAAAAL long

there you have it. super long light trails

the reason i chose those locations coz its near to my place lol. cycled there to reach the spot i wanted

if want jam must go somewhere else edi lol.

A busy night...

my noob shot for light trail hehehe
my first time tried to shoot light trail....
C&C are welcome





camera model: Nikon D80
using fireworks as light source

2nd pic is at mont kiara solaris right?? i tried there b4 but there weren't much cars to produce nice light trails.

Yeah.. shoot at solaris.. i shot at midnight so not many cars. i think shoot at 8pm will be more cars..
