This is a slightly abstract shot – a six second exposure taken in the dark. I used a mini-maglite as the light source. I also zoomed out during the shot. I’d be tempted to try this again using a few different light sources.

Another shot of the car – this time it’s one of the BMW Motorsport (///M) branded sill protectors (kick plates to you and me). I was getting out of the car and just happened to be thinking what a state it was in. This shot prompted me to take a series of other shots of the car, which I will post over the next day or two.

This is one of the four side lights on my car. I was just experimenting but when I examined the photo later, I found lots of interesting patterns and reflections, so I said I’d post it.

Crosstown Traffic


Jan 13.

I intended to capture a bit of motion on my daily comute, but the sport is a bit too hard on the road. The camera is on the tripod, on the passenger seat with the timer on. It’s not edited – it just worked out like this with the ever so slight bumps on the road. And since the title was inspired by Jimi:

Lyrics:

“Youre just like crosstown traffic
So hard to get through to you
Crosstown traffic
I dont need to run over you
Crosstown traffic
All you do is slow me down
And Im tryin to get on the other side of town”

… well, the engine behind the current hillclimb champion. The photo is black and white because the engine is ancient! 😛
