Old Route 66

Uploaded: September 19, 2004

Description

Shot this old relic of a motel with a 20 sec. exposure on tripod, f27, ISO 100, to try and capture the great neon lighting. Merged with the moon pic shot on 15 sec. exp. and manipulated in PSE.

This old neon motel was all the rage in the 50's along old Florida Hwy. 19. With it's concrete pool right by the road. But I thought it looked like something you might have seen on Old Route 66...hence the title. :o) #170463
