Trails on Lake Shore Drive by taffy

Trails on Lake Shore Drive

Andie ( @ukandie1 ) and I met at the zoo today late afternoon for a photowalk that ended on the North Avenue bridge overlooking the Drive, north toward the skyline. It was great fun as I rarely photograph the city from this angle, and never had done light trails from that bridge. I predict we'll have some similar postings this week.
Thank you for your favs and comments that sent my pano to PP today. So much appreciated!
Voting ends tomorrow for SIXWS-43 and don't forget, tonight is the last night to post for ETSOOI-60!
Super light trails. I would love to take a photo like this, but where I live you would be lucky enough to get a lone cyclist on a bike at night, ha ha. Maybe now we are in the tourist season we may get more visitors in Nelson Bay.

Superb shot, light trails...excellent composition
January 4th, 2016  
Very impressive!

Love Babs comment, @onewing you may get a blurred ghost cyclist.
Another brilliant technical shot.
January 4th, 2016  
So much fun, to have a photowalk with @ukandie... What a delight. Love the light trails, especially with your iconic skyline as a backdrop.

Nice long exposure, very effective!
January 4th, 2016  
Love it, light trail shots are so much fun.
January 4th, 2016  
Great light trails. So nice that you have such vantage points available to you!
January 4th, 2016  
This is nice - super light trails. Just the right spot for it!
January 4th, 2016  
Beautiful capture of the city lights and light trails!
January 4th, 2016  
Wow this is such a great photo, Taffy. The light trails and the city at night are captured so well. I need to learn how to use exposure. Worked on ISO so moving along. FAV
January 4th, 2016  
Great light trails..
January 4th, 2016  
Terrific capture :)
January 4th, 2016  
Wonderful light trails with that beautiful backdrop! I have tried light trails but can never find such a great vantage point as this and normally only have one lane of traffic! Great image Taffy! Your walk sounds fun! Fav!
January 4th, 2016  
oh that is something! look at those light trails. big fave
January 4th, 2016  
These are great light trails. In Brisbane, all the of the bridges have mesh to either stop people from jumping or throwing stones, and it's impossible to get light trails through them.
January 4th, 2016  
oh so cool!
January 4th, 2016  
Fabulous light trails :)
January 4th, 2016  
Lovely work. Congratulations on making the top 20.
January 4th, 2016  
So many trails in one shot!! It's very effective.
January 4th, 2016  
Fantastic light trails and a great 'after dark' shot. So effective, showing the bustle and life of the city wonderfully.
January 4th, 2016  
Wow, this is super. Fav.
January 4th, 2016  
roads are indeed rivers.
January 4th, 2016  
I like this effect!
January 4th, 2016  
Grand collection of light trails! I like the dashes of what I assume are indicator lights running through some of them, cool composition too.
January 4th, 2016  
It's not just the light trails that make this so good, it's the care you've taken in the construction/composition. Then there's the processing of the sky which is just wonderful.
January 4th, 2016  
Quite the busy area. I miss taking light trail shots! How nice you had the meetup! I see ISO at 64. I hadn't thought ISO could go lower than 100. Will have to investigate my camera!!!
January 4th, 2016  
Fantastic light painting
January 4th, 2016  
The light trails are amazing but I think the composition of the roads and city make the shot really stand out.
January 4th, 2016  
Absolutely awesome. Fav!
January 4th, 2016  
Fabulous image!
January 4th, 2016  
wow beautiful trails
January 4th, 2016  
So much traffic! Love the lines.
January 4th, 2016  
A great capture Taffy. We just don't have that volume of traffic around here. I want to try light trails but they won't be as spectacular as this Fav
January 4th, 2016  
You chose a great vantage point to capture the lines of big city traffic coming and going! I'm sure you had fun on your photo walk. Fav!
January 4th, 2016  
Wow those light trails are hypnotic. I especially like how the red ones branch off at the junction.
January 4th, 2016  
Instant fave! Love this.
January 4th, 2016  
Great trails!
January 4th, 2016  
Outstanding! Definite FAV!

Wonderful shot.
January 4th, 2016  
Brilliant...fav
January 4th, 2016  
Brilliant long exposure image, mine always have blur no matter how hard I try!
January 4th, 2016  
Incredible low light picture and perspective. Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.
January 4th, 2016  
oh my goodness - one of the most exciting light trails ever - huge FAV
January 4th, 2016  
Wonderful light trails. Fav!! 😃
January 4th, 2016  
Fantastic. The skyline silhouettes are impressive but the density of the light trails are unbelievable. Fav
January 4th, 2016  
Nice job!
January 4th, 2016  
nice light trails with the city in the background
January 4th, 2016  
Amazing shot!
January 4th, 2016  
Instant fab - this is very beautiful and exciting! Following :)
January 4th, 2016  
@thistle I think there's something to be said for those long lonely trails. I did one once in Death Valley National Park and it was pretty effective among the desert scene. I'll be you are able to come up with a good idea! We have little choice here -- rush hour is best or it looks weird to see a few light trails on a multi-lane highway!
January 4th, 2016  
Amazing shot! Fav! Man, I miss Chicago!
January 4th, 2016  
Fabulous image, great light-trails in combination with the city lights in the background. big fav
