Yup, there is a high frequency of photo radar on this particular stretch. Flash, break lights, Flash, break lights. I think I just figured out how to get them to slow down in front of my house! Wife was with me and concerned that someone would stop. I just told her that I would explain that Fish made me do it!
Ok this ain't great, but it is traspartation, and it allows me to ask a question of those who have bikes. I have a friend going to Atlanta next week on business and he is thinking of renting a bike for the weekend, Any of you bikers live in that area? If so please e-mail me. Thanks!
Tonights Paddlewheeler going past...we have 2 that go past a few times every night. They make a great sound with the paddles hitting the water...they sound like a steam engine.

Great shot Humy is there a sound track to go with that??

Rear Sync
The shots were done with a Nikon D2h. There are a variety of flash settings on the camera. The one I used is "rear sync". It fires the flash at the end of the exposure rather than the first part of an exposure. With a standard flash and longer exposure you would get the car or object fixed then colored lines running through the image. With rear sync you pick up the images from tail lights etc and then at the end of the exposure the flash fires capturing the subject.
The type of flash should not make any difference as this is an in camera setting.

Order up a Speedlite 550EX and you'll get flash compensation and rear curtain sync with your digirebel.

I am about to lose it....10 stories going up right in the middle of my view :cry
Oh Humy I'm sorry to hear that...can you move higher up? or maybe it's time to move altogether.. or... maybe you'll have to be like Waxy and sneak around with your camera late at night..
Mine does, but I'm curious if a digital slave flash would "honor" things such as the 1rst & 2nd curtain flashes (as it's described in my manual).
i'm not an expert by any means, but it seems to me that the slaves do what the master tells them to do (or they go without their supper). so if the master is firing on rear curtain, I would assume the slaves would follow suit.

Hum, screw that man. Get a petition going! Dont let 'the man' put you down. Isn't the whole building pissed? Just not right to lose a view like that. TAKE CONTROL!
No time for the old in-out, love, I've just come to read the meter
I've been working like a dog, haven't had any time to shoot. I hope to get some time on Friday.I did shoot a little, before the rains came on Saturday night... but it's all awful.
I have a poor habit of not checking all of my camera's settings. It's caught me out a few times. On Saturday I not only picked a poor location... but I forgot I had set the thing to ISO 400. Ugh.
Assignment Combo
For the Triangle Assignment I submitted two really bad pictures of Bartle Hall. Last night I did a re-shoot. The building makes a much better night-time subject. An additional benefit was light trails made by cars. So now my triangle subject is also my transportation in motion subject.

Yes, a tough assignment Fish, but challenges make it worthwhile.
