You can get interesting photos using car headlights. High beams which are intense and directed, can be especially effective. You can use them to create mysterious, fairy tale-like effects, because they can brightly light one patch while darkness seems to press in from all around it.
It’s a fun activity to fool around with when you’ve got some extra time. (The long evenings of autumn and winter are a great time to try this; and frost and fog, combined with the strong light, can give you even more interesting possibilities to explore.) Check out the differences between how your high beams and low beams look.
Using car headlights works well at twilight, with sunsets, and can be effective in illuminating reflective signs. You can see the results in these photos.
Just don’t, whatever you do, lose track of time and let your battery run down. (Been there.)
