Decided to go out and try long exposure last night about 11:30. I know it isn't the greatest ones of all time but I think it's kinda cool. It's really hard getting a good angle in a (flat)town to pull somethig like this off. I ended up on the 4th story of a parking garage extending only one leg of my tripod so the other portion(legs) hung over enough to take the shot. Ended up getting ran off by some rentacop-looking-cityofficial cop. Saying "We can't have people up here." Here I am on a saturday night having some good wholesome fun and I get busted by the cops. It just happened to be the Parking garage for the DMV. I'm thinking to myself hey I practially own this garage I pay my taxes. Anyways...Oh yea this might fit into the theme, the lights on the cars are "traces in time".

  • would have been scared if attempting to take a picture at the angle you did. And to get 'busted' while having some clean fun..what a shame.

  • I lived in Lexington for 6 years when I was a kid. Thanks for taking me home again. If it makes you feel any better, I had the same problem in Lansing, MI when I was taking night pictures for a college photo course. The actual city police hassled me, although when they saw I wasn't up to no good they let me finish my assignment.
