Default Caught between the headlights

Just playing around outside, entertaining the idea of a backlit shot. None of them really turned out any good, but I did catch my first light trails from a car going by. Anyways, I tried my best to save this shot and I like it enough to post.

week eight of fiftytwo ?

I actually like it. Looks a bit eerie with the hoodie up. And nice lite trail too.

I think this is reall cool - well captured and a great idea. I like the light around the edge of the body and you have done well in getting the face outline. Well done. Cheers, Bernz

I think I was pretending to be Eminem or something with my hoodie up like that.

Thank you! I just crossed my fingers and hoped it worked! This was the only shot I could salvage. The others didn't have quite enough light or the headlights really made the particles in the air show up.

I agree with the previous comment that it is really cool. I like the contrast of the car headlight against the silhouette of the person. Thanks for sharing.

It amazes me at all of the creativity (?) that this group has. Just when I think I've seen it all, someone posts something else really cool! What a neat shot!

I think I got this idea from someone here talking about band promo shots in an alley? Except they also talked about having off-camera flash in front. Well, I have my camera and my kit lens, so I make due. You're right though, I've tried to be a part of other photo forums, and none of them are like DPS. Everyone here is awesome and friendly and always willing to help out. It's great!
