Todd Lambert I don't like titles ![]() More info | Sep 26, 2012 23:32 | #20 Thanks man! That shot is stacked sequentially and then spaced and reverse opacity per layers and exported. It's an effect done in timelapse films a lot now. I've been doing them for awhile now and I found that I really liked the effect on single shots. I'll often shoot a couple hundred shots, which I can then use any portion of. I usually limit to about 75 images since that gives the best range in my opinion. Trails can get really dominant in an image, but I always try to have some sort of foreground element which means that the trails can sometimes compete with that. This way it sort of softens them a bit.

CraigPatterson Senior Member 287 posts Joined Jul 2012 Location: Colorado More info | Oct 03, 2012 12:15 | #28 This is a stack of about 100 shots out of a 200-shot session. I decided the trail effect I wanted got overshadowed by the length if I tried to stack everything I had taken. Each shot is in its own layer in PS, with a gradually increasing amount of opacity to get the comet effect. The foreground (Arches NP) is lit with a 13-million candlepower spotlight, which gets waved around over the period of a few exposures. A few passing cars also added to the light source. Color of the foreground is almost natural, based on the altered white balance, but slightly heightened vibrance. I have a ton of gear, but my gear is just a hammer.

And 40s a shot did you have a invalmeter switch. Thanks for sharing Yes, a interval-meter is required.
