Photos Few shots from my walk

Went out for a walk tonight with my new tripod and snapped a couple of what I think are good shots .

They have been edited like removing things in the background I didn't want.






Thanks for looking,

 

light trails are a bitch to get right, and thats a nice one!

 

How do you even do light trails?

 

the 2nd shot is uber cool!
the colors make me think of a batman poster. very symmetric, clean and precise, well done!

 

Tripod and a long exposer

Thank you I think its one of the best shots I've taken .

 

yeah long expo, 30 sec upwards, with a high flow of traffic works best. What i like is that there is no ghost lorry in the scene, which means all the traffic was flowing at a good average speed.

 

Nope, no lorries was late at night and last night, there was 1 ambulance though but i missed it.

 

30secs isn't exactly necessary... guess it depends where you are. Some people do drive at 20mph in a 40 for instance...

 

That shot was a 25s exposure worked fine.

 

Both are excellent shots. wish i had a better camera.

 

Really like the second one.

At some point I am going to have to have a go at doing one of those shots.

was the wall picture touched up in PS at all?

i can see a very abrupt black shape that is almost unnatural on top of the backgrounds wall...
did you paint any of that black on?



maybe its just me..

 

I didn't see it until you pointed it out, but the background definitely looks like it's been half painted over in photoshop.

And reading the original post properly confirms it:

I guess this is one of the times when making sure your monitor is calibrated properly comes into play.

Yeah the wall was badly PS lol, my monitor is factory calibrated lol straight out the box .
