A midsummernight's dream - a photo on Flickriver

View large.

I almost didn't make this week's Twitter Photo Challenge. I've been away since Sunday, and the rest of the week's been hectic. But doing the not-so-smart thing and say no to bed and yes to photography enables me to enter this shot at least.

This week's topic is "movement", and this is my interpretation of that word.

The technical blurb

Camera set to ISO 250, manual exposure 15 second shutter time and f/22 (a little too dark, to be honest, so I added approx 2/3 stops in Adobe Camera Raw -- i.e. similar to heightening ISO to something like 400).

The camera was on a tripod sticking out of a window in the back and secured in the back seat. A flash was connected to the camera with a cable and placed in the passenger seat. It was set to manual output 1/1 and second curtain sync.

Apart from all these gadgets you need a car and *slow* speed. The car couldn't bump around too much, because I wanted the lines created by the street lights to be fairly straight.

It's me you see in the mirror there.

BTW: This photo is taken in almost the same spot as last's week's twphch-entry.
