Snow Plow by tdaug80

Snow Plow

My get-pushed partner challenged me to create a photo with a moving source of light. We had a snow storm last night. I tried to catch light trails from the snow plow. It was not a complete success. After the first pass, I got the camera set up, choosing the right exposure. I was shooting in aperture priority at f/11, ISO 400. That setup for a 5 second exposure--perfect for the speed of the plow. I waited for the plow to return. Oops. Missed it. Will it come again? Yes, here it comes...camera didn't work. Oh, yeah, I didn't have it turned on. By the 4th pass, the light had darkened to where I needed a 19 second exposure. The plow was long gone before the exposure finished.
Marie, I tried a natural setting for your challenge. I have a few other ideas that I hope to try before the week is out. @toinette

Loved your narrative on how this came to be!
We have all been there - lol!!
I think this works nicely with the red line and everything else in perfect focus and exposure.

Wow, how many times does it pass? The yellow and red line looks so interesting!
