An interesting composition of planar fields. Interesting lighting from the long exposure. You could have a tiny bit of camera motion from the long exposure. Nice work,

I belive the camera motion is due to opening and closing of shutter multiple times during this exposure to avoid car light streaks. Having to reset the shutter likely nudges the camera since it's on a travel tripod. Would using a film holder insert or such to block the lens be a better option?

The "black hat" method of shuttering is a well established practice for unsteady mounts. I'd suggest using it for initial opening, any interruptions of exposure, and final closing (that technique works with telescope mounted cameras at high magnification, which are exquisitely sensitive to the slightest touch).

I've began using the film holder's dark slide for everything past initial exposure. I may try and use a lenscap or a coat or something in the future, especially since I've been shooting with my 210 even more, and my 135 mostly sits neglected in a camera bag. I figure the initual opening and final closing won't matter too much for a 5 or 10 minute exposure?
That's a reasonable assumption. I'd be more concerned about the opening than the closing in any case -- by the time vibration is an issue on closing, the shutter is closed.
