Light streaks and happy accident





This picture came about in an unexpected way. I started out with a photo I had taken in a car at night driving down a city street. I slowly rotated the camera and wobbling it from side to side while the shutter was open for a number of seconds. Here is the picture as I took it:








While editing the picture I wanted to do something to make it more substantial. After a lot of adjusting and readjusting of hues, contrast, brightness etc. I accidently hit the fill button on a bright space of the picture and it happened to be the blue/green color you see in the finished piece. This filled in all of the white spots.
