Have you ever tried taking a picture while going 85 on the freeway at night?
It's no easy task, let me tell you.
Unless you're in to the snake-like headlight blurs.
You can't use your flash because it will reflect off the windshield.
You can't use a tripod, for obvious reasons.
You can't exactly stop in the middle of the road.
You can't predict when you will come across a nice big road bump, either.
I guess it's just hit and miss. Pure luck, I suppose. I shot, and shot, got frustrated, changed settings, adjusted lighting, and eventually gave up because nothing looked quite right.
When I got home, I put the photos into my (not-so-trusty) computer, and found this one. Right at the beginning. Before any frustration had set in. Sheesh... It's not anything amazing, but considering the others, I kinda liked it.
Maybe I'm luckier than I thought.

Night shots in a car are tough! I often prop it on the dash board and hope for a smooth road.
It's sort of a metaphor for life isn't it? Or am I just tired and acting obnoxiously philosophical again??
Oooh I love that last one! Car shots are so difficult and frustrating...!!
Great post...and so true!
The last shot is great. It should be in a magazine as an ad for the car that is in it :)
