My go at #9

Ok...here we go...C&C please...

My idea for this challenge was along the lines of up between dusk and dawn. But I don't know what to do for a title so any suggestions would be helpful.

#1


#2


#3


#4


Exif is embedded in all of the images but exposure was usually between 15th and 30th of a second and ISO was 100 or 400 f-stop was anywhere from f/8 to f/16.

The hardest part about getting the light streaks was getting enough vehicles to come down the road. I was having to wait 5 minutes for 1 car and 10 minutes for two at once!

I like the crop of #1 and the exposure you have on #2. What's distracting about #2, though, is that thing on the right but what I do like about it is that you can make out the sky. I'm not 100% sold on the starburst effect for this particular challenge, though I do like it. That starburst effect immediately catches the eye and the natural light at that time of day winds up playing second fiddle to that.

What are the chances of shooting the coming train instead? Obviously from a different vantage point . The mood of dusk (or dawn) and a train with slightly slowed shutter should be pretty dramatic.

Slim to none. Trains don't come through very often. When they do it's during the middle of the day. They basically come through to transport feed from a feed mill every once and awhile.

Now that I think about it I have only heard a train 3 times since I have lived here for the last 2.5 years and I have only seen a train once. And I live right on the tracks. The location where I took these photos is literally 200 feet from my apartment.
