Yelling at Cars with Boys

We photographers can be such an odd bunch. I was with a couple of my buddies standing atop a hill to get this shot with the streaming car lights. When a car went too slow, hit the brakes, or stopped in the middle of the road, we all start yelling, "Nooooo! Don't stop! Keep going! Don't you know it's illegal to stop there! You %$@# don't slow down! Aaarrrrghhh!" and other things not quite fit for family hour. Funny because for one, they can't hear us, and two because they wouldn't care what some photographer's up on a hill wanted from them anyway. After a couple of shots with blown out lights or lights only on one side, I went for a longer exposure and got this one…and stopped yelling. It was fun!
