Weekend exodus

More light trails for you. This is taken from the same motorway bridge over the M25 from which I took the shot earlier this month. See here:

Since taking that earlier shot, contractors have completed installing the lights on the central divider, so I couldn't take up exactly the same spot as there was a dirty great light stand in the way!

The narrative from the earlier shot gives you details of the junction. In short, this is junction 2 of the M25 London Orbital motorway.

Many thanks for all of your comments, suggestions and favs over recent days. I really appreciate them all.

Techie note: the bridge was vibrating so much (from the traffic) that you can see the effect in some of the light trails. Selecting a longer exposure (to try to get continuous beads of light) only exacerbated the problem, so this one is a bit of a compromise. And it was the only one (out of 30 or so) that had traffic on all 6 carriageways!
Great shot, I like the wiggly lines. Good to see all the traffic on a Friday night was moving!

Nice trails. Not easy to find the right road. M25 is kind of far from here.😁 But sooner or later I will try! I see what you mean: the interrupted trails are due to the not so long exposure in order to avoid the shaking? Fine anyway, without your prompting I wouldn't have noticed

@caterina Thanks for the comments. On your question, the answer is yes. More important for me was to get the traffic on all the carriageways - as always, looking at it now I can see lots of things I would wish to do better. That means there must be a next time!

Another great shot, I'm not sure what the lorry is doing, surely not out of driving hours?

You've managed to make the M25 look nice, no mean feat at all!

Fantastic. I must try this one day. Not much traffic where I live though. You are lucky if you get a chap on a bike at night and they don't seem to have lights on their bikes either.

Nice light trails. I am like Babs. We don't have much traffic at night. There are no traffic lights and only one 4-way stop.

I like it.

well done!

I like the way the trails 'snake' away in curved lines from the viewer.

Oh yes, love it!
