The dangers of night driving part II
I continued my Wild Boar project last night and was able to capture another shot of Wild Boar crossing the road in front of passing cars. This was what i actually had in mind last time i was out there so glad i was able to capture it.

greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Like your thinking Jeroen, the almost 'ring of fire' works well to highlight him via the on coming traffic.

Have you tried a 16 x 9 crop, working from the top RHC?

Very nice indeed Jeroen and certainly tells a story.

Would love to know how you got f2.8 out of an f4 lens :wink:
