Here’s 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).

Things I learned from this photo adventure:

1. Windshields are dirty, even after you’ve cleaned them.
2. Programming my camera’s wired remote was much easier than I expected; I should have tried it long ago.
3. Roads, even the ones we think are smooth, are actually VERY BUMPY.
4. If you can’t do it the old way, try doing it backwards.
