Lightstreams

All four images 2s, f/7.5, white balance fine, Coolpix 995, 1994 Hyundi Excel

These were handheld from a moving vehicle. The first is is looking straight forward, the second is pointed about 45 degrees to the left as the car aturned corner,and the next two are straight out the side window. I found that the manual white balance (fine setting) produced the best range of colors in the final image; set to auto, the range of colors was reduced drasitically and ended up predominatly orange.

Most of the images shot looking straight forward didn't end up very good - the car bumping along produced lights that looked like scribbles rather then smooth lines. With better suspension and a small tripod, it might work.
