long exposure - sooc by summerfield

long exposure - sooc

aha! finally, i was able to convince partner to drive me to a lookout place where i can catch a few light trails.

looking southwest, this highway, the don valley parkway, is one of toronto's main arteries. when i first came to toronto, this highway was notoriously known as 'death valley' parkway because there would always be fatal accidents. they say it was the turns and inclines of the road, but only very few would acknowledge that driver ignorance or boneheadedness is the main problem, as anywhere else.

this is not the best shot i know, but i got the light trails. i'm putting this down for long exposure and certainly i would have to revisit this shot. also tagging this for the camera settings challenge #24 which is night time light trails, and for my get pushed challenge, motion with blur. maybe i should make it a grand slam - don't those light trails look like a dragon? haha!
Awesome Summerfield. Great composition, clarity and color. Great long exposure. Fav

@losthorizon - the focus is not very good, but my eyes can't see well in the dark, much less through a small hole. but thank you so much for the fav; appreciate it a lot!

The light trails definitely connect to a fire-breathing dragon, in the world of my imagination that is! Good job Vikki!!

excellent three-fer! gotta love the lightrails over the main arteries...

This has worked really well - besides the light trails, I like the office blocks in the background.

clever - great trails

Stunning shot. A foreground a background and a middle.

That's a great capture Vickie. Love the width of the trails and the sweeping curve.

This is another good response to both the get pushed and CSC challenges. Sorry I have not yet had chance to respond to last week's challenge that you set me, but I really hope to do so this week.
