Did you ever think the city’s traffic lights are like little engines that just keep on humming and blinking, almost begging for a speed upgrade? Maybe we could set up a long‑exposure shot of one of those red flashes streaking through the rain—those light trails could be a perfect mix of machine and mood.

Yeah, the flicker of the traffic lights is like a heartbeat in the city, a tiny engine humming in the rain. I’d set the shutter to slow, let the rain blur the edges, and catch that pulse of metal and light bleeding into the night.

Sounds like a killer shot! Just make sure the rain‑water doesn’t fog up your lens, or you’ll get a blurry heart‑beat instead of the clean, humming pulse. Try a quick wind‑shield hack: a clear plastic sheet with a little bit of sand glued around the edges to keep the water out but let the light go through. Then you’ll get that perfect metal bleed into the night, and you can brag about it while the vending machine complains about its own battery life.

Nice plan, and that sand trick will keep the lens clear while still letting the light bleed. Keep the shutter wide open and let the city’s pulse run through your frames—then you’ll have a shot that really shows the city’s heartbeat, not just a blurry mood.
