I've been really getting into lighting, and have learned a lot from the Strobist blog. The blog was started by David Hobby, an American photographer who used to work for the Baltimore Sun. The blog has become so successful that he now runs it full time. Time Magazine named it one of the 25 best blogs of 2010.
The focus of the blog is to promote photography lighting techniques, especially using mobile flashes.
I decided to apply what I've learned, and create a photo and submit it to an assignment / contest. You can see the other submissions here.
This photo was taken at Medtronic, Inc. north of Minneapolis, MN. The huge parking ramp, though mostly empty at night, is never empty. There is always some activity. Perhaps it is the midwest work ethic, but you will rarely find a time when a car isn't moving here. Even after 12am.
I used a wide angle lens to capture a sense of the size, and light trails to capture the motion. The image would almost be peaceful, if not for the moving vehicle.
