“Bouncy Ride.”
I didn’t have any time to shoot during the day time today, so it was back to night photography for me although this time it wasn’t out the front window of a moving car! Instead I went up the local street corner to shoot some light trails which was a lot of fun. Oh, you have to enjoy those sceptical looks you get from people when you are on your knees at the roads edge with a camera on a tripod. Some cars slowed down their speed quite a bit!

While I did bring along my tripod I couldn’t resist the temptation to create some extra movement in the images. This is a 15 second exposure where I tilted the tripod forward a few times during the exposure when cars were passing which resulted in the bouncy light trails you see. I made a total 22 exposures from this viewpoint with several light trail variations. In the end I like this one the best.
In total I made 40 pictures today.
