Installed the new roof rack and wanted to have some fun with it. Filming did NOT work out so well because it was dark-dark but if anyone has any pointers, I'd love to get some good footage driving around on our little street.

Filming in he dark is so much about the camera and post processing than it is technique.

...also, those are awesome shots, but wouldn't you want to put the tree pointing the other way?

I'll give the post processing a whirl. I don't have good gear outside of a few decent gopros that I've used for other videos but the night shots is a new thing 😬 thanks for the info

As for the tree, I was trying to show more utility for the roof rack for a video. I initially laid the tree across the whole rack BUT because the branches fold down on the artificial tree it just looked flat haha this was the reason for this orientation- to maximize branches from folding up 😅

Oh! While gopro isn't the best action camera anymore - action cameras have to have very sensitive sensors to manage fast, stable pictures. They should have a starlight mode that layers multiple of these images with longer exposures and get you what you're looking for, at least for things that are close to you.

I just came up with an idea. What about one of those lights that projects snow on the wall ? Maybe I will try it when it gets dark

Thanks! Yeah I've seen these pics floating around FB forums as well and if they're these, chances are, they're mine! Haha I did a video for the roof racks and was driving around at the end and others were like "uhhhh someone posted these on FB" 🤷‍♂️ oh well - holiday spirit haha
ALSO I like the Projection idea 🤌
