Caught in the spotlight by maggiemae

Caught in the spotlight

My idea was to have the daffodils at our gate spotlit by passing cars. I had to use the flash here to get the flowers defined! Everytime a car went past they could probably see a flash going off and probably thought i was a cop taking a picture of them speeding! Those are the light trails of a car going past!

Three good things:
1. Nobody saw me.
2. Got the whole vegie garden weeded.
3. A new day for another photo to plan!
You still ended up with a a lovely capture, Maggiemae, love the colours against the night background. Are those gleaming lines in the background from the passing traffic?

I love number one on your good things list!
Still a great capture - love your daffs!

The Daffs are captured beautifully , and I love the car-light flares -- even if this isnot what you had hoped for -it makes a nice image

This turned out very nice even if it isn't what you envisioned. I like the composition.

The car must over the speed limit. You captured it's entire movement in your exposure time. You flash must have given the driver a fright.

well, if you slowed them down good for you.

@summerfield our next door neighbour is a cop's wife so we are OK. Weird set up - she lives here, he lives somewhere else but friends!
