Watching Cars Go By... - 4/365
This shot almost didn't happen. I've always wanted to shoot some light trails, and had the bright idea that since I was doing this, I might as well start taking risks.
Eariler, I wanted to get a shot like this with the sun setting that had a lot more traffic facing west. Well I passed up two potential places to shoot, and stopped at another two before my lizard brain convinced me that I could possibly get a ticket if a cop saw me, or seriously hurt and it was best I stay in the car and move on. To which I complied.
After a couple of hours, and with the sun already gone, I made up my mind to actually shoot thing thing. If I had not, not only would I have regretted doing it, but also it would have put a damper in my 365 project. I was still hadn't taken my photo prior to this (because this was what I wanted to shoot) yet and it was now or never. After getting my first attempt at a shot like this out of the way, I was able to relax a bit and really try to shoot different angles and try new ideas. This is the result.
Well, that's another photo in the books. I must say that this experience has taught me a valuable lesson...
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
