The guys over at the Jamaica group on Flickr have an awesome project going on where group members are invited to go out and shoot a photo for our “Long Exposure Project” which ends on August 15th. At first I thought my camera wouldn’t be capable and didn’t want to enter but last night during a failed attempted to catch some Perseid meteor shower action which ended in failure because of light pollution and an imcapable cam and decided to have fun with passing traffic.
My sister was up late as she is on summer holidays so I recruited my willing assistant and we climbed unto the unfinished upper floor of our house. She’d scream to me whenever traffic was coming and I’d try to time my shutter release so catch the lights from passing cars. About a dozen shots and an hour later we have two decent(ish) shots for our labour.
It was a cool learning experience trying it for myself as well as looking at all the cool entries from other group members. The coolest of which was from David Madden who got a cool transperacy effect with his long exposure. I need to try this one day.
