You know, I've never tried to get the long exposure traffic shot with any camera. So tonight I gave it a try. I tried a couple tricks. Using the ND filter to slow the shutter speed, putting on the timer since I didn't have a tripod or a cable release, and using bulb mode. I think my favorite one used the ND filter and bulb mode for 11.4 seconds. Longer light trails with those settings. I think I did ok without a tripod. I had to sit my camera on the edge of the overpass and try not to move because there was no way I was letting it go.
And here's what you get when you know you moved, but the long exposure isn't done yet. I'm sure everybody who's shot long exposure traffic shots has a ton of these.
I enjoyed getting these shots. And the built in ND filter helped quite a bit in this instance. I'll try and find some other ways to use it. Perhaps I'll try that slow flowing water thing. I've never attempted that shot either.
