crowecg 822 Posted 27 June, 2020 Share Posted 27 June, 2020 Also on my trip to the supermarket, I took a detour to the rooftop car park and tried grabbing a few shots of the light trails from the passing traffic. night 3 I think the location may be a bit too brightly lit and I was probably a bit late in the evening, as the traffic wasn't too heavy. Another variation got some nicer light stars from the street lights. night 4 I had tried this once before, when I lived in Hong Kong. Light Trails That was shot on film and was the view from my apartment's kitchen window, so I remember sitting there for some time counting the traffic light sequence to work out when I would get the most cars, for a single attempt. The more recent ones on digital from a damp car park were more of a shoot and pray. There are another couple of locations that I am thinking of trying for this sort of shot, so if the weather and time permit, I will get out to try them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I was just holding the camera steady against the top of a wall, but there doesn’t seem to have been any sign of movement in the rest of the image. I would have thought there would be a bit of a bump in the middle of the picture where tram tracks come out of the side street, but it seems to be more widespread. Link to post Share on other sites
Contributor Alan7140 3,803 Posted 28 June, 2020 Contributor Share Posted 28 June, 2020 Were you using a stabilised lens? That might account for the wavy lines, although it wouldn't take much camera vibration to produce that, either. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe next time I should take a tripod. Link to post Share on other sites
