    Speeding cars at dark.

    I took this a few months ago. Nothing too stunning but I kind of like it. Comments/advice are very much so welcome.

    Hey Kyle
    I have always been a big fan of this kinda picture, to me it looks great but by no means am i an expert ( not even a novice). Did you use a tripod on this shot ?

    Hey there. Thanks for the kind words! I did use a tripod. I would not have gotten very far without one. Haha. That was only the second time I have ever shot at night and I was quite happy with how things came out.

    Kyle,

    This angle is near perfect, and I love the how the majority of the lights are on the right hand side of the road, a nice effect which you don't see often. There are a few things I'd blur/burn out, especially some alterior lights. The door way/brighter light on the bottom right, the beginning of a light on the top left, just stuff like that you can clone out to create an even greater shot.

    Nice shooting,

    Jared

    Thanks Jar- e and everybody for the kinds words.

    Jar-e,

    I do agree with you about the alterior lights. I plan on going back to the spots that I shot at that night and try and fix some things and hopefully end up with a better product. Once again thanks for the words.

    Crit,

    The exposure for this shot (if I remember correctly) was 25 seconds.

    Kyle,

    No problem for the comments. Avoiding those lights would be simple, just zoom in a tad and there gone!
