Is this one shot, or are you cut out of a different shot and pasted onto this one? I only ask because it seems a near-miracle for you to be able to hold so still for what must have been a much longer exposure to get those pronounced motion trails on the cars.

Just one shot Jarrett - six long seconds. It's also the only facial expression I could hold for that long :-)

That's amazing! I only tried that once (where I had to sit perfectly still for 5 seconds) but I am far enough away so that if there was any movement, you can't really discern it. I'm impressed.

I don't know what this means, but the technique is great.

Like the look in your eyes and the calm that it portrays. Took me awhile to see the streaked lights of the cars, which I like and kept me looking at the image longer. On the other hand the bright blue high contrast of the sign really pulls my eye quickly away from you so this is somewhat distracting.

I like seeing the subject in his community environment. Now I'm trying to figure out if I've been there in my travels.

King said 671 days ago:

Ah, Berlin, I see. Hi, Flatline. Participating in WeeklyShot for the past 1.5 weeks has been lots of fun. Thanks again.

Flatline said 671 days ago:

Yeah, I did this last night, and will try and redo it tonight or tomorrow with a slightly better background.

Hmmm... if only I had a good costume....
