Title: Sessions Hill Road After Dark
Post by: JohnBrainard on September 17, 2008, 12:08:45 PM
I've been here a couple (http://dorkyphotographer.blogspot.com/2008/05/waiting-for-sun.html) times before (http://dorkyphotographer.blogspot.com/2008/07/playing-with-my-new-lens.html). And I'm sure I'll go back again.

Sessions Hill Road is a mostly dirt road that crosses over two main roads providing access to farm land. It's really a network of roads and I have found a lot of joy in driving on them in my truck. Last night, the moon was out and bright and the sky was very clear.

As I was shooting this photo (2 minute shutter speed) a truck drove by. When I was done exposing it, I looked at the LCD and thought "Really cool!" I've done it before, but wasn't sure how it would turn out in this instance. So, for the second shot, I opened the shutter and got in my truck and drove by my camera.

Like that second shot the tail lights in part look like an illuminated barbed wire fence, the moon looks like a jewel, and the time exposure is just beginning to elongate it because of the earths rotation, I also like the dusting of stars across the sky, beautiful.
