Very interesting. :0)

You may want to remove those few white spots on the picture.

did you try abunch of exposures to see what worked or did you meter off of something?

I suppose all you need is an aperature, and leave the shutter open, if your in a dark enough area.

The aperture did controll how much light hit the exposure, as far as not blowing anything out. The shutter was maybe 4 or 5 seconds, and it was luckily timed more to make the care "dissapear" at the end of the frame. Where the brakelights end is where the shutter closed. I didn't meter anything or try any multiple shots, I was actually shooting the other way, towards town, and I heard a car coming and whirled the tripod around. It was alot of luck!! Manual mode, total guesses on aperture and shutter. (i think it was f4, i'm using a non cpu lens, so I have no idea later.....:cry)

And yes, I want to clone out some of those stones in the forground, and that light in the trees. I didn't care to at midnight last night......:snore

my first real experience of road side night photography so far...

except i was driven off by suspicious hill people before i really got what i wanted

night photography arouses a lot of anxious curiosity.

also some of the better spots to shoot can be right on the apex of dangerous corners, near scarred trees and twisted armco barriers..
