This is one of the frames used to make the video.
This video was taken over around 15-20 minutes on a short drive. Each exposure was 3 seconds long and the camera was set at ISO 200 with an aperture of f/4.0. I also had a Cokin ND grad to help keep the harsh street lighting down while still allowing the road to expose nicely. I set the camera to multiple exposure mode, and used a remote shutter release to keep the shutter locked on. This was all done using a Canon EOS 400D with a Canon 10-22mm lens set at 10mm.
Night Driving Time-Lapse
I may write a full tutorial on creating a time-lapse video like this, including how to mount the camera and more. If I do, I’ll be sure to post it on this blog!

just been out with my new camera mount, am going to give this video app a try. watch this space
This photo is wicked! Very dramatic!
Nice
Good one Adcuz,
Why dont your write tutorial about this too…
please explain about setting multiple exposure setting ..
Have you tried timelapse of surise ; their i am having problem with exposure since as soon as the sun rise it became over exposed a bit with pre-setted exposure..
Chitrang,
I will be wiriting a tutorial about this very soon, but I want to have a good timelapse video to go with it. I have advanced the technique since the above video to run at 24 frames per second. I will also be tackling the above issue of sunset and sunrise. It’s simpler than you think.
Stay tuned!
wow – this looks great!!
I have mounted the camera in car passenger seat on tripod, secured quite well with its own legs (a couple extended to floor and one on the seat itself) and the seat belt and used cable release for daytime images B4 – but these light shots are much more dramatic!
