[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
What's a photographer to do when he's the passenger in a fast moving car? Why take pictures, of course!

The sun had just gone down when this photo was taken, which I think works well for it becuase I love the effect of the headlights against the ground ahead. I also like this shot because the car was turning at the time it was taken, so the wheel of the car is sticking out -- and the road ahead has a curious twist in it. I used NeatImage to get rid of the noise that was in the picture because of the low light. I also created a minor motion blur in the direction of the car to smooth out the image, and increased the Cyan levels just a tad in the color balance window to give it more of a "nighttime" feel.

================================
For some reason, the exposure time for this picture is showing up as 30 seconds, but this is very incorrect. The correct exposure time for the shot was 6/10 of a second.

Hi Brain,
A very stunning photo. I love the motion and the reflection in this shot. The headlights are a great bonus.
TFS,

Wonderful sense of motion and speed in this shot - definately has an "magasine advertising picture" feel to it, almost expect to read a tagline about the benefits of a new car.....
Thanks for sharing

Wow! you sure did a wonderful job Brian. I thought it was some kind of a 3D generated photo when I looked at the thumbnail, very creative, very well performed. thanks for sharing.

excellent idea and artistic shot, brian! :-)
how did you get this superb low pov on tire-level?
perfect timing on the curve and amazing motion blur through
the 30secs exposure time.
well done & take care, thor

Hi Brian! I like this a lot! Very dramatic POV. I like the curving motion blur. It looks like a scene from a dream. Lovely effects.
