the Morning Scramble by northy

the Morning Scramble

This is the intersection of Yonge and Dundas - it has "scramble" lights meaning that every third light change allows pedestrians to cross whichever way they please - including diagonally...

This is a multiple exposure (assembled in PSE because I don't have an on-camera setting that lets me do it), shooting into the morning sunlight... it's a combo of 5 images... I fear I like this WAAAAAAAAY more than I should... please feel free to tell me I've completely lost it ;p

a version combining only 3 images is here: http://365project.org/northy/just-because/2012-08-28

Thank you for the lovely comments and favs on yesterday's bike shot... your encouragement means so much to me :)

I think this is waaaayyyy cool, not lost. :)

This is definitely cool. There is a part of me that wishes there was just tad (said with high pitch little voice) bit more clarity to the people, but definitely not much. This looks like 4 exposures, were they all freehand?
August 29th, 2012  
Cool
August 29th, 2012  
Very cool! I really like the chaotic, transient feel you've captured in this shot.

@trbo 5 images... hand-held... i knew they wouldn't line up... i thought stacking two or three of them wouldn't look too odd, but it didn't seem either neat enough or chaotic enough and i didn't like it... and stacking 7 was, needless to say, even more overkill than 5...

I totally love it too! I prefer that they don't line up exactly. Brilliant fav

Love the movement!!
August 29th, 2012  
awesome abstract, love the trippy colours and motion!
August 29th, 2012  
Love this! In amongst the chaos, that light draws you in and the colours are wonderful too! I don't think you've lost it at all, its fun to explore different styles and techniques!

I don't think you've lost it. It's very effective - disorienting and colourful.
It certainly holds my attention.
