A very cool look. I would suggest cleaning your windshield beforehand. The dirt and wiper streaks are distracting.

True about the dirt. I find it annoying, too.

Cheers!

  I thougth the lights was lightning. As many storms as we have been having here this year I thought "Wow, what a great caputure of a storm". Still, nice effects.

  Thanks everyone for your appreciation!

The shot was taken with a 28-80 zoom at the shorter end. I think something a little wider would improve the shot still.

Regards

  Hi Constantinos,

Actually, you do not need to drive fast to get the light streaks. I believe I was doing something like 40-50kph.
What you do need is a long exposure time. In this case it was in the order of 15-30 secs.

Good luck
