Before My Battery Died, the Ambulance Arrived

I really want to do light trails at some point. Thought my 300th would be this one, but I didn't like it so much. Will go back and figure it all out.

The lights are an ambulance. So I guess that makes me an ambulance chaser?
This is a fun ambulance chase, with light stars to show the way!! And that sign -- I have no idea what that company represents but it's offering to make my life easier, which is a good thing?

I like it. How funny that your battery needed an ambulance!

Funny narrative. Like the starbursts among the light trails.

Very cool!

@taffy The starbursts were the only thing that really worked. I have so much to learn, but I'm self-pushing in this last part of the year to get some night shots. I sure wish I had you nearby! I vote for you and Junko submitting some kind of proposal for an educational meetup in the ATL.

@jyokota I want to set up at an overpass next time. This really was an experiment.

@homeschoolmom Thanks Lisa!

@amandal Two ambulances went by within 5 minutes. :(

@darylo I'm all for that idea!

I like the way different patterns of light are positioned throughout the photo.

You know, if not for the sign - it would be a stunning shot! I thought of shooting stars, but the sign got in the way. How would you feel about cropping it out?
October 28th, 2013  
@timandelke It is cropped already and I did try to get the sign out, but noise, noise, noise. It's not a good shot, but it was a "place holder" to show me my first attempt. I just loved the ambulance lights including the purple extension, which also rules out the sign going. But I knew it was not going to be a good shot in the end. It didn't help that I had only about 20 minutes and then my battery went "bye, bye." Will try an overpass some evening before this project is up as it's on my year one bucket list! :)

@darylo I have no doubt that you'll rock it!

I like it Daryl,
