On the Brink

Across the street from my house. Polluted skies make for mindblowing, surreal gradients at sunset. The streets have been torn up for about 3 years now, as a massively overengineered storm drainage system is being installed after 2001's Tropical Storm Allison did several billion dollars of damage in the area. Almeda (shown) finally had the last bit of new concrete poured this week. Still wet -- so tempting -- but guarded by construction workers.

This one is about a year old.. Going through my archives a bit and seeing if I missed anything that should have been here.

Of course.. part of the reason I like this photo was the technical challenge of it. It took quite a bit of trial and error to set the flash power, aperture, and shutter speed so that the tail-light trail would be equal to the length of a vehicle, while still maintaining proper exposure.

Helen: Cool!!

Super shot. Really, really nice. Looks like the Brinks truck is phasing through solid objects across the 8th dimension (which is the space between atoms, according to Buckaroo Banzai)

I like it, I like it! So THAT is what the other options in the menu of my digital camera are for. And here I was, trying to catch the moon and the northern lights, with feeble success at best.
And the Brinks truck is just perfect for this, with the full set of taillights that it has. How long did you have to wait to get this shot?
If you are still looking for donations to buy me a better camera, might I suggest we get you a new one instead? I will be perfectly happy with your old one. Now if only I can learn your skills...

it looks like a ghost brinks truck making it's last delivery. by the way the best rated camera is the canon rebel. costs about $800.

elaine: i'm liking that 8th dimension photography

Peter: 10th Feb 2006 - 17:47 GMT

lol, i was gonna mention also... the brings truck looks like a spacecraft!

on another note: i saw this photo before i saw the title, and i was like "thats gotta be one of ian's"... :)

I shot this with a Nikon D70 and 24mm f/2.8 lens, on a bogen tripod w/ a ball head. I went out to this spot about 30 mins before dusk and spent about an hour and a half shooting.

EvilGentleman: why, yes, I'd like a Nikon D200 :) which is pretty much the embodiment of my dream camera, but unfortunately it's $1700 :( Actually, any money I do receive from photographic activities goes towards better glass.
