It’s funny how one thing can lead to another. Just last night after completing a photo assignment to capture a local food truck…
Roll!
50mm, ISO 200, f/2.8, 1/13 (Tripod)
…I walked by a common fountain I see every day and finally got the urge to do a simple long exposure…
Triple Spout
50mm, ISO 100, f/4, .5 Seconds
…and upon crossing the street to get back, a brigade of emergency vehicles came screaming by. I thought, “Hmm…you know what would make a great light-trail? A FIRETRUCK!” Though my mind was racing, I was able to calm my nerves to get all the settings nailed before too many of them passed.
Firemen
50mm, ISO 100, f/16, 5 Seconds
And…maybe a police car?
The Cop
50mm, ISO 100, f/16, 5 Seconds
Yes, yes, I believe they did make neat light trails. Much more interesting than “just a car” driving by, anyway. And to think, had I not been on assignment, I wouldn’t have gotten the chance to shoot these. A real shame to imagine that. 🙂
That’s all for this post guys and gals, thanks for dropping by. As always, have a great day!
P.S. Lens used was the 50mm f/1.8 E.

Been wanting to do an emergency vehicle light trail for a long time, but the times I had my camera with me it was daytime, or I didn’t have a tripod.
