Long Exposure

The latest challenge is "Long Exposure".
2/22/12 - 3/7/12
Two week challenge!


By long exposure we mean any picture with a shutter speed over 1/2 second. A shutter speed that would (normally) not be handheld, but taken with a tripod or a wall or a swing or a post.

Example:

That picture was 1.5 seconds shutter, with a slow (fired at end of shot) flash and a tripod.
I took it at Rail-jam 2007, hence the writing. Couldn't find a clean version.



Anyways, go at it. Lets see what you got over the next two weeks.

What was said about 'Gated':

Christine said:
I voted for gated because I really like the blue in it it embodies how winter feels to me and how the sun looks in it the other thing I liked about it is it has a sort of Edward scissor hands feeling which I guess is just loneliness but the photo expressed it well! And whoever did it this this vote should mean alot cause it means I didn't vote for my husbands so feel really special

Tony, cryptically, said:
I liked the light going thru there. 
He then said:
That is the gated photo opps 
Photo opps indeed.
