Shutter Speed Contest

Next Stop F-stop 2.8 Got to get out of the city, if you want to see the galaxy. (Be sure to grab your camera on your way out the door, cause there’s no turning back). Must escape man’s brilliance, man’s electric-mind; street lamps with flesh-light, blue-light, and corpse-light, lights that hum, lights that pop, lights with no eyes, lamps that hang their heads above the road, resigned to line and light the asphalt and gutters. Man’s light pollutes the night, hides the way out of the city, that milky way up and out through the sky. I’ve got to get out of the city. Shut up behind night's shutters, you have to leave if you want to see, what possibilities are left in creation. Drive hours in the dark, just to see how far infinity goes, dust as big as planets leaving a star-crumb trail back to the beginning, before city lights, before corpse-light, before man light, all the way back to that One light that lit the world with a bang. Be sure to set your shutter as wide as your eyes, ready to make room for starlight, your camera the only passenger. Leave the city; no road; no map; next stop f-stop 2.8.
