Over the Tracks

I took this photo in the beautiful town of Syracuse, IN. This is a long exposure of a semi going over the tracks. I waited for a rainy night to take this shot because it brings out detail on the road.

    i like where the shot was taken from, it seems that the camera is pointing upwards, that enhances the feeling of the picture even more

    Nice and simple. Love the how the grain elevator in the background is lit up during the slow exposure.

    Well done Blake.
    It's technically perfect in my book.
    How did you get a nighttime shot to turn out with tones and so sharp?
