The Speed of Light
By Lois Fong-Sakai
On this evening, I set up my tripod over Interstate 5, looking south toward Downtown San Diego. Because of the hazy sky and clouds, we got the beautiful post-sunset pink and purple colors along the horizon. With a neutral density filter and long 30 second shutter speed, the headlights and taillights of the moving vehicles on Interstate 5 become streaks of light, leading straight to Downtown.
