I want to find a cool desktop wallpaper (pref in 1440*900) of an urban scene at night with light trails caused by passing cars. Tried Google images with no luck - any other ideas?

Heres one of my own, can email it to you if you want a larger version. This is the largest photobucket would make it.

basicaly you set your camear up as normal. Making sure you capture the whoe shot and not focus on one thing (unless you want to focus on a car with the lights fading in the background)

then set you timer to the highest it will go. usually about 10-20 seconds

wach the camera on a tri-pod and click.

best result if your trying to focus on a subject is dusk. dark but not to dark

That's ace - yeah if you wouldn't mind sending it

I found this on my PC at work the other day - bit of a long shot, but i'd love a high res version of it if possible?

Butler - that one you've done, would it be possible to get a decent picture focussed on a car, but with that going on in the background?

Pretty sure you use a long shutter speed, but a small apeture, so only a small amount of light can enter the lens. The longer you leave the shutter open, the brighter the picture. In butlers example i'd imagine it being a tiny apeture, but quite a long shutter speed to be able to capture all the different cars, but without the street lights flooding the picture.

, yeah it's all lies and they're all pictures taken in quick shutter/ "Sport" mode, and they're of two convoys of CTR's passing the bridge at the exact same time
