G'day everyone
It was a cold, dark night. My daughter was driving me from my warm comfortable home in Sydney (yes, Australia!!!) to a cold, wet and dismal Melbourne (unfortunately also in Australia!! But that's another argument!!) when I awoke from my slumber to find the sun had set and we were traveling at 110kph (that's 110 kilometres per hour or, for you yanks, about 65mph)and thought I might pass the boredom by taking some pics of the pretty red, yellow, white etc reflectors and signs at the side of the road. Choosing a time when there was no oncoming traffic and a reasonably slow shutter speed I began snapping away through the windscreen. The combination of the slow shutter speed and the movement of the car (both forward and up and down with the bumps) created some interesting patterns - at least I think they are interesting. What do you guys and gals think? I have done no pp on these.

Great shots. It is fun to experiment. My wife bought solar powered lights for our yard and I decided to take a couple shots of them for fun and this is how they turned out.
This is what they looked like with flash. I wanted to capture the rain drops reflecting the amber light they give off
I was hand holding with flash off and my first shot was blurry
So I decided to have fun with it

Very noice!!! Also, I did some the other day where I had a long exposure and manually zoomed the lens in and out during the shoot. Can create some interesting effects.

Well, you may be loony, but you have good photography instincts.

These are so cool. #2 looks like a bee hive. What were your settings? Thanks for sharing.

I had it set on auto focus and I turned off the flash
