Dove back into the archives for this one, back when I was actually keeping up with my photo-a-day project. I don't do much long-exposure work, but this spot popped out in my head and I took this shot. I had to sit for probably half an hour to get 3 or 4 shots, since a picture without any movement in it would be pretty boring and defeat the purpose of time-lapse.

I think this shot is interesting the 'motion' of the car coming through in contrast to the stillness of the parked car. Two things that could make this a little better: If the lighting were dimmer, perhaps waited for more darkness, and the second idea would be to crop in closer, less street, mabey eliminate the 'do not enter' sign.

I hope that is helpful, and others agree! I'm new too! Good luck

It is refreshing to see folks trying something a little different every now and then. Interesting effect! Thanks also for providing the very helpful EXIF data with your shot as that always makes for a more complete posting.

I was actually thinking about the crop when I took the shot, I wanted to keep the sign because I felt it gave a good secondary point of interest and framed the shot.
