Update 4-feb:

I still hadn't been able to shoot a night portrait and some light painting, so... what do you do when you have a sick kid at home? Ask him to pose for a cool portrait...

Update 3-feb:

Here are some more shots. Lessons learned: 1) don't shoot long exposures when storm is near. 2) 20-30sec exposures is too long for fixed stars and too short for nice star trails.

Here's my first shot for this class. It's a typical highway view with white & red car lights. I tried center the view so you'd get daylight left and night to the right, symbolising the people living by day or night.

50/50

There was a lot of wind and some drizzle, so technically it could've been a lot better. I also underestimated the difference in exposure between the left & right half, so I'd probably need to fix that in post-processing.

In Lightroom I gave the shadows some purple (via split toning) to make it a bit more interesting. Not sure if that was a good choice yet.
