Mk2 on Mull: Pic Of The Week
Kings of Mull Calum and Iain Duffy blitz the night air in their unstoppable Mk2 Escort - desktop delight!
To celebrate that fact (and because who doesn't love an Escort rally image?), Pic Of The Week features the Duffys' Mk2. Credit due to snapper John from official Mully Rally photo agency LindsayPhotoSport for such a stunning image too - capturing both the magic of the car and location in such style is no mean feat. A worthy POTW!
It's a long time now until the 2015 Mull Rally but you can guarantee the Duffys will be there in their trusty old Escort. And who would want to bet against them being victorious again?

The one that captured the car will have had a big flash to capture the foregrgound etc, the rest were just grabbing the head/tail-light ones as it wound through the valley.
Once you sum all the images together you end up removing the bits which have moved (the car) and are left with a nice trail of light.
Great pic, nicely done mind.
Once the car has passed through the flash, all that will be left is the light trail (hence the brake lights passing through the car). Nicely composed and well thought photograph.
Motorsport at night and light trails provides for nice opportunities.

Stick a camera on a tripod and set the length of the exposure to 30 seconds (or whatever is suitable) then ensure the flash fires as soon as you hit the button (i.e. first curtain, rather than second/last curtain which would be then the shutter closes). This ensures that whatever is seen when the flash fires will show up brightly, i.e. the car, then the long exposure will capture its light trails. Only problem is the light trials will then look like they are in front of the car rather than behind it, as someone said, looking like its in reverse.
