Well it took a few months but I finally did it!! Thank you all so much for enjoying and voting for my picture. It took along time to get this shot right; I posted some of my outtakes here. Some thought that I used rear sync flash but in actuality I used the natural lighting, and shot next to a stop sign so the car stopped just long enough to burn in a ghost image, and the rest was up to the 5 second exposure. I used the hood of someone’s car as a tripod since I forgot to bring mine, and as every photographer knows improvisation can be your best friend. Any way congrats to everyone who submitted an image, I believe we are all winners because we each share a common love for photography and the joy it brings each of us….
This is bound to be at the top somewhere. It make me wish I had rear curtain sync on my camera. I'm can't think of anything right off that I think it needs. The colors are are very well balanced.
Are all those people waiting to eat? Good repsentation of the challenge but a bit overexposed for my taste (that must be my stomach talking) still one of my top ten picks this week.
This is sooo cool! I like time exposures of night traffic. How did you get the people in the background to hold still for soooo long? They appear very crisp and clear! Tripod user? (I'm not that steady!) No critical stuff, just praise. Good job! Photo 9 City 10 total 9
One of my top 4 photographs of the week. I love the colors and the feeling of motion that you captured. I also like the angle, the feeling of not quite straight on somehow adds to the overall impression.
– I love this – it’s almost like fireworks. A happy, fun and Very festive atmosphere. – 10 – I would have liked just a little more saturation (nit pick)
Life in the fast lane
