Here\u2019s 2 strategies to capturing light trails: the pre-COVID way; I find a cool spot, setup up my tripod (first few images), and capture cars as they pass by; or, mount my tripod in my car and then took a series of 15-30 second images from the passenger seat (second set of images).<\/span><\/p>\n

Things I learned from this photo adventure:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Windshields are dirty, even after you\u2019ve cleaned them.<\/span>
\n 2. Programming my camera\u2019s wired remote was much easier than I expected; I should have tried it long ago.<\/span>
\n 3. Roads, even the ones we think are smooth, are actually VERY BUMPY.<\/span>
\n 4. If you can\u2019t do it the old way, try doing it backwards.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
