I was hoping to see some "car trails" show up here.

I've thought about that but so far I've been unable to find a place to capture some, with a good composition, without being in a dangerous and / or illegal location...

I am yet to give it a full go, what I posted was just my first attempt where I happened to be at dusk.

No chances yet to get out, so here are three old, noisy nighttime images from my Rebel XT (350D).

Len Philpot, Great photos. The “light in the dark” is quit the capture!

Thank you. That was taken at Hodges Gardens State Park in Louisiana several years ago.

The backstory is, the park was originally a privately-owned botanical gardens and lake, quite the attraction in its day (1950s - 1960s mostly). The lake was made from a quarry of some kind when a local creek was rerouted to flood it. The illuminated cross on the lakeshore was constructed many decades ago by the original owners and remained as an attraction after the state took ownership (or some agreement) and turned it into a state park in the mid-2000s. Unfortunately it's closed again, at least as a public park.

We were staying in a lakeshore cabin just around a bend from the cross. There was a series of tremendous thunderstorms that roared through that evening and this shot was taken from the cabin's back porch maybe, of if not, just down a bit from it. It was very moist and there were sodium lights outside, but after having been in the cabin for longer than I cared, I was itching to push a shutter button. This was a shot of opportunity.

Whatever the Canon Rebel XT / 350D may have been good for, low-noise / low-light wasn't it! LOL But I think it looks OK as long as you don't peer too close!
