This was my original motivation for this photo: http://www.pbase.com/image/155451994

I was trying to make it appear as though this was the millions of tail lights that accompanied me home tonight as the DC Zombie Commuter crowd all tried to push and shove their way through traffic. Clearly we mere mortals do not understand the speed and intensity with which they must live their lives.

I wanted to try some different colors and exposures and liked my other result better though. Also, this wasn't actually tail lights as I couldn't take the picture while I was driving so I did this while parked and used gels and speed lights to try to recreate the effect. I decided not to use it.
