Traffic on New Years Day

Uploaded: January 02, 2013

Description

Happy New Year! Don't worry, I didn't drink and drive. The rough roads and keeping the shutter open for 30 seconds helped create this abstract. I then added in a moon that I took a photo of a few days ago. It was an amazing orange moon. I used my OlympusE-M5 with a 300 mm lens (equivalent to 600mm with crop factor). I didn't have a tripod with me and was able to hand hold the camera. Settings:1/30s at f 6.3 ISO 400

Exif: F Number: 22, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 25/1 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 50.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS-1D X
