Challenge:Road Signs IV (Basic Editing III) Camera:Nikon D100 Location: On the way to Hockley Heath Date: Feb 1, 2005 Aperture: F/7.1 ISO: 400 Shutter: 30" Galleries:Action, Rural Date Uploaded: Feb 1, 2005
Taken after about 100 attempts on a very cold evening. Still not sure, original idea was to capture my friend on his motorbike with a rear curtain flash, but flash wasn't strong enough to work properly.
Cropped, levels, curves and USM before resizing for submission.

This shot has all the elements of a winner almost perfectly lit and exposed. I ecpect this to do very well, if only there was a bit more light on the right edge it would be poster quality. It feels like the open road, and makes me wish I were there.
A lot of these time-lapse car light shots but yours is the best. I especially like the simplicity of yours combined with the addition of yellow inside lights. Your arrows signs illuminate nicely A 9 from me. Nice job!
Great picture, the colors are very vibrant, you picked a perfect time to shoot this. Only thing I could say could've been fixed was the horizon line, it's a little off, but hey it looks like it was dark. One of my favorites just because I love slow shutters.
Very nice tail light streaks against a decesnt sunset. The color of the sunset adds great interst to the composition. The signs on the right directs to the interesting side of the image.
