    Few long exposure Astra pics...

    Gave the ol' girl a wash and wax this evening as over 600 miles of motorway in 3 days had taken its toll!
    Trax will be the Ashtray's last show before she is torn to pieces. No I still aven't made up my mind on my new car (keep thinking VW....whoops!)

    Spec:
    Low
    Kitted
    256's
    Stripped
    Faster than MrsPen1sFanatic's Cabrio lmao

    And yes, I do have the other pair of wheels to match, Toyo are just facking slow delivering to BMTR

    Long Exposure in laymens terms is basically the shutter on the camera stays open long so absorbs more light, making what would otherwise be dark pictures lighter.

    Nice pics Al, i take it you used a tripod?

    Sport one to a spoiler that looks very much like the irmscher one - but doesn't have the stamp. Ah well - does make the back end look a littlem ore modified.

    John: Thanks mate, much appreciated - and before you ask, no I deffo won't race you now lmao

    Cheers dude.

    Basically just used the long exposure (AV or TV?) - shots in the underground car park where 5 and 6 seconds, others on the industrial estate where 10secs.
    Used the tripod to adjust angles of shot etc.

    Have some filters coming soon to play about with, and a fish eye lens hopefully

    Looks good mate, all you need now is that XE conversion...
    If you can't get into trouble you might as well stop at home!
