Description
...or maybe not. I don't have any misguided notions that this, or any thing to come from this little jaunt, will be very popular. I was impressed with the way they came out, considering conditions that I captured the image in. If you can't appreciate that, then you can't really understand how hard it is.*note: I apologize for the grain and for any soft focus you may find. It was well past midnight, in the rain (then snow mix), & I was shooting freehanded without a tripod or support. So my ISO is kind of high. I hope you appreciate how well it turned out, circumstances considered. Oh...and that IS rainfall you see in the streetlamps...yes, it's suppose to be there.

great work the positioning feels a little off not the photo itself but where the car is. Great work

Intriguing capture!
I like how the road sort of shimmers and such, from the lighting and the rain. The positioning is pretty cool and the actual piece itself is brilliant!
I don't know about you, but I think it's pretty impressive how great this piece is, as you've managed to capture it with a longer shutter speed, at night, with rain, freehand.
The blurred car needs to be emphasised, perhaps... and maybe the light at the top dimmed a bit, so that it doesn't take our attention away as much. It could also do with a crop in some places, as well...
Great stuff, nevertheless.

I rather like the effect (or affect, i still can't tell from the two) of the soft focus and the grain. I think it gives the photo more feel to it. And how the rain was captured I think is a pretty nice catch (my camera wouldn't pick that up... it kind of fails).
All in all I really enjoy this piece. What really catches my attention is the relief of the picture and the motion of the car. I just simply enjoy this picture. Well done

Charmed - 'tis a blessing
I bought a tripod and still always manage to knock it. Set the self timer now and stand back

Is is hard to believe that I don't consider myself gifted at this?

I guess so...
You should try to get a couple of shots similar to this.

Am I allowed to use my tripod? 'Cause they'll make no sense otherwise!
Have done some from inside a moving car in the dark. I'm a bit wary of being out after dark with the camera. Will have to drag someone along

Most certainly. I would have if I had my tripod with me...but I didn't, and I didn't care anymore. There was a series of events that just...compelled me to go shoot regardless...

Oh, one of *those* days. At least you were shooting with a camera!
