Interesting Photo of the Day: A Lighting-Fast Car

Reddit user xHaZxMaTx snapped this with a Canon 7D and 28mm f/1.8 lens. It’s a composite of four long-exposure shots, each 20 seconds long, with a wide aperture of f/8 and 100 ISO. The photographer then lightened the layers afterward in Photoshop, intentionally crushing the blacks and lowering the contrast to blast the lamp lights and lighten the sky.
