Although I caught some trails in my night shot of a few days ago, this time I went out specifically just to get trails. I discovered the technical stuff is not too challenging, but you are at the mercy of the traffic density to get the right balance to the image!
Anyway, thanks for all your comments recently, I am a little behind on commenting but will catch up very soon.
Nice shot Peter. At the end of Jan I'm booked on a night time photography event. Really looking forward to it and hope to produce something similar to this photo.
Nice Shot Peter. I tried car trails a few months ago, but it was winter then and Nelson Bay at night doesn't have much traffic in winter. I will have to try again now it is summer. You have inspired me.
.........hope your long suffering neighbours didn't spot you with tripod on your local roundabout!!! Excellent trails...what fun they are to do, ha ha just spotted Rhos comment.Alison? gender change?!!
Great balance to this Peter...... as you say the technical side is not too difficult, but to get the right flow and frequency of traffic takes trial and error (and usually very cold hands!)
Great one. I have this on my 'to do' list as well. Think I will do it next week. We have been given some assignments for night photography at the photo class I'm taking. Might make a series of it at the same time. Challenge for me!
@jackie8 Yes, Jackie, very cold hands. And (I'm not being funny here) in my part of north-west Kent, I was slightly worried that any moment one of the car drivers would stop, come over and demand to know why I was taking a photo of his car, swiftly followed by his confiscation of my camera and probably a bonk on the head to boot!!!
