 Post challenge:

Thank you all for your wonderful comments :)

I'm glad you liked it.
This is basically my first shot with the new A7S II, it HAD to be a night picture :)

My first idea was to use a car, like Judy did, but I didn't have any sports car available, so I picked the motorcycle.

Happy to score a red, now I have all three! :)

Thank you Paul!

Well this wasn't the first attempt, I can tell you that.

Luckily the A7S II is stabilized at a witchcraft level.
