 ...The Need For Speed.
I had a lot of fun with this photo shoot, this shot was taken at approximately 60 km/h with a slower shutter speed on an average Canberra suburban road. This shot showed speed the best out of all the ones I took, I even had the car at up to 140 at one point, but with the shutter speed up too high during daylight it looked like I was sitting still. The only thing I did with this in software is crop the bottom slightly to remove the dashboard.

I like the idea of this, the motion blur is quite nice, but the overall composition and exposure makes it a little uninteresting. A good topic for habits, as it seems to be a common thing where I live.

a little underexposed, but otherwise a good interpretation of the theme

Closer tail lights or oncoming headlights might've added something
