Streets of London

Chalk Farm Road in Camden, London - taken from the window of our dressing-room, backstage at the Barfly Club...

This is my attempt at "long exposure", with my camera which only lets you go up to half-a-second... Edited slightly in Photoshop, then uploaded in a very convoluted way via my iPhone!
Wow! Awesome shot Kit :) I love long exposure... so beautiful/interesting

Thanks Lauren! :D
I'd have liked to do it for even longer, but sadly, that doesn't seem to be possible with this camera... :/

This is beautiful!! Did you just set the exposure as slow as it would go and take a photo of the street??

Great shot Kit, I've done a few long exposures my self, however I normally go longer so that you lose the vehicles all together and are left with light trails, but I really like this, being able to see the movement, also being taken from above has added a different perspective! Certainly something to try.....

Great shot, the buses really add to the photo.

Yes, pretty much just that! Then a little bit of adjustment (saturation, contrast, etc) in Photoshop, and that was that... :)

Yeah, it was a good window to shoot from, in our dressing-room! A guy in one of the other bands had brought his camera along as well (a proper fancy Canon, no less!) and we were both hanging out of the window snapping pictures of the street... haha!

@pete21
Yeah - I ended up taking about twenty of these, and the ones with buses in were the best by a long way! I was very lucky to get a shot with two buses going across at the same time... (But then, that's what they say about buses, isn't it? You wait ages, then two turn up at once?! haha!)
