Photographer’s Note

Ok, this is my "shot with a strong element of motion blur" contribution for the scavenger hunt.

This is the road I do everyday to school and back, right lane leads me there, left one returns me back home.

The reason I stopped was the moon was looking beautifull. But I didn´t get any good shots of it. Then I climbed on top of this crosser, over the fast route, and took some pics of the traffic.
I didn´t use any tripod at all. I used the metal fence that prevents people and objects from falling, and, taking advantage that my F100 is shaped just like a brick, I leaned it against the fence and manualy shot several pictures of the red and white lights cutting across the darkness of the road.
On this particular image you can (barely)see the Lidador Tower in the far background, close to the center.
The smoke cloud you see nearby is actualy vapour comming off the beer brewery of Super Bock, (Best lager in the world!)
The exposition was 11 seconds, not 8 as mentioned, but I don´t know how to change that.
Cleaned noise, Unsharp mask and curves correction. It´s not adviseable to use auto levels or curves in this kind of images where light and colors are predominatly different from what you see in daylight.

...Awaiting your comments
