Not done this before...light trails

[Bend The Light]

I decided to do something different today (for me, maybe not you. ).
I went and stood on the motorway bridge over the M1, and took some light trail pictures. I quite liked this one for it's symmetry, and I love the lights caused by the small aperture.

I really do. I'm not sure I have much to critique?

Thanks.
I was pleased myself, to be honest...I keep playing "Spot the vehicle"...like the blueish lights that come in down the right...must've been a truck, or bus.

Yes, I like it, too.
And your outcome is A LOT BETTER than my first attempts at capturing light trails were!

Can you post exif data? I want to try this, and don't know where to start.

Well, I was going for long exposure (and I forgot my remote) so I set it as low as possible...avoiding noise, I thought.


But like you say, it worked.
