Does this work?

I really need a tripod.
To get a good pic like that .

In a word, yes.

on my screen the exposure is spot on, lots of detail in the darker area whilst the sky isn't blown out.

Composition looks pretty good to me as well.

I think the pic would look even better without the second car. The car you're focused on looks great in that light

I was actually trying to get full length light trails, but would have totally blown the sky if I'd have exposed any longer.

Going to try again (hopefully sometime this week) later on in the evening.

Looks fine to me.

Smaller aperture or if that's not possible, an ND filter will get your shutter speed down.

Agree with Simpo

Grad would sort it (preferably the darkest one).

Nice pic mind...

I do think it works. I'd place a little wager that it will look even better a little later on so the light trails from the passing car are longer. I'm very interested to see the outcome of your experiments.

It works.


Next time: Take two shots and blend in the sky again. Nice idea
