My first attempt - yuhuu

This is my first attempt in this technique on a very cold night.
I like this technique, and I'll try to improve my skills.

Thats quite amusing the flare at your right side.

May be a bit dumb question but was the flare deliberate?

I couldn't crop that flare, or didn't have time to process this image.
Is just a test, that's why I'm not spending time improving this image.
It was the light from the highway, it was right on my right side.
it was cold outside, and I just wanted to take 2-3 pictures and go home quickly and crank up the heaters

Hey Lovin. I had a friend go down to Vancouver and she got some really great night shots from this revolving restaurant.

Keep trying! My only advice is maybe watch your composition. There isn't really much too look at except for the Hwy. Maybe a bridge in it, or an intersection with a neat building.

Keep up the good work! I can't wait to try some shots like these!

Thanks Kat !

I didn't want composition, I just wanted to try once the slow shutter to get those lights across the image.
Next photos I'll pay attention to composition DoF etc etc
