>>42675 >I liked this one, except for the fact that the car is blurry. It just looks wrong. The light is interesting, and the composition - that everything is pointing in the same direction - also. It could have been a good shot, but still it's not really exciting. It seems to have no meaning, no feeling, like something you would put up on a wall just to cover up a hole in it.
Yeah, I understand what you're saying. It ended up that way for a couple reasons, chiefly because it was almost accidental. I saw the light on the highway, and just started shooting cars as they came past. This particular one just happened, and this car was going too fast (surprising considering its age) to not be blurred at the shutter speed I was using.
>The light is boring except for in the car pic, no interesting shadows or colours.
The pics are messy, with no real focus.
...and most importantly, no point.
I was trying to have a point in the first two and others like them I shot; early in the shoot, I was trying to show how empty these big strips are, physically and emotionally. (In before the word "pretension" is used.) It didn't work out; they just ended up being boring, I agree. I was hoping /p/ could tell me why.
