Another light painting shot. This time it was the car light at a traffic junction that paint the light trails. This was taken 2 years back at High Street Center 6th storey car park. Now it should be slightly different with the Central building on the left and the reverse bungee in the centre.

but anyway the setup for such shots is simple. Tripod mount and with cable release or remote control. Set a small aperture like f11 to f16 and a low ISO.  

The small fstop is to achieve the long exposure. So is the low ISO but tat is also to minimise noise. You might notice that the sky still have some details…the cloud. so try not to shoot when it is too dark.

try it
