Need for Speed

Photo by: Amber V
I took this photo during my night time photography assignment which I really enjoyed. I was on the way to the Y and decided to try some night photography while driving. I used a tripod and sat in the back seat of the car. Even though I had the tripod it was still a challenge to try my best to capture the inner part of the car in focus. I used a 13 second shudder speed for this picture and an ISO of 250. I personally really like this picture and the neon lights. Even though the dash and stereo aren’t in the greatest focus but I believe it looks good for being in a moving car with a slower shudder speed. The only thing I do not like about this picture is that the drivers hand is very blurry. I think it would have made the picture look even better if the hand was in more focus.

I like how the colors and how you can see the drivers arms and car parts.
There are vertical and horizontal lines in this photo.
The lighting and focus is great. Exposure is great as well.
This can reflected a calm and mellow mood.

I like that this photo looks really hectic and really unique and all the colors make it really interesting.

I really like the way all the colors are emphasized and how the picture shows speed.

This photo amazes my naked eye in so many ways. The colors in this picture make it unique because of the bright neon lights. In this photo they slowed down the shutter speed to capture the lighting effects. This photo also shows framing because the main subject is in the street. It is a stunning yet smooth all at once. It is a keeper for sure. –July-FPHS
