I went with my son earlier to take some photos. Or rather I went out and he wanted to come with me. I wanted to take photos of light trails from cars but not from my balcony. I wanted to take them from street level. So we headed to the traffic lights at a main junction and I set up there. These are some of the photos, although I have saved one for what may be the first Photo of the Week for 2014.

Nice photos. What were your camera settings? I assume a tripod was in use.
Thank you 🙂
Yep, tripod.
Shutter speed 25 seconds
ISO 400
Using a remote
No flash
Thanks!
You’re welcome 🙂
Very nice! 🙂
🙂
Great pics, Al. Makes me wonder, does your son want to take up photography? Does he borrow your camera? Just curious! If he takes any shots, let us see, hey 🙂
He has a camera that I gave him, but he doesn’t use it that often. He used to when he had a camera before, but he accidentally left it behind when we ran from the sociopath. He hasn’t been into it as much now.
“ran from the sociopath” – oh Al!! 🙂
It was nearly four years ago that we moved in with her and started nine months of sheer hell. I sometimes wonder where I would be now if I didn’t meet her.
Nice shots, Alastair. Happy New Year to you and yours. 🙂
Thank you Sylvia. I hope you have a fantastic year
It is SO cool how the streetlamps go all North Star. 🙂
They do. I love it
I really like it that the lights look like stars! Beautifully captured!
Thanks very much Ute 🙂
Where are these images from?
I took them yesterday evening, it is at a junction heading to Dover Eastern Docks.
Love them!
Thanks 🙂
Amazing images you captured, Alastair! You had a great idea to do in the street! Congratulations!
Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Have a wonderful day, Alastair! 🙂
Thank you. Glad you like them 🙂
These look great and the time spent together invaluable!
Thank you. Yes it was. I love it when he comes out with me. I don’t feel so much of a twit lol
I have tried to get my daughter involved so many times but she is still not interested although she has an awesome Instagram !
I gave my daughter my old bridge camera as she was going to take photography at school. Then she changed her mind and hasn’t used the camera since. I think I may swap the kids round with them. My son is more likely to use them than my daughter
Lucky girl! Yes you should swap it!
🙂
They look fantastic.
Thanks Kim 🙂
Beautiful shots. I’ve always enjoyed night photography. It seems to capture motion in motion (that’s the best way I can describe it).
Thanks Princess. It’s one of the reasons I got a tripod.
You don’t see any lights like that in my town. Your town looks like it is buzzing with activity. I enjoyed your photos
Thanks Terry. This is the main road into and out of the port. 80% of traffic to and from the continent comes past here
sounds busy, is it noisy too?
It can be. I get used to it though.
Very interesting … fourth one is my favorite.
That was the one that was going to be my photo of the week until I saw another one. I really liked that. It was the type I had been aiming for when I decided to go out and photograph them
Lines of light from traffic are common winners in my eyes.
Thanks very much Frank 🙂
Cool shots!
Thanks Cee 🙂 Hope your New Year has started well
Awesome light trails, not even gonna try do that but love them all the same
Thanks 🙂 I love doing them.
Awesome pics!! Love the father/son photo time~ 🙂
Thanks Courtney. Every time I say I am going out to take photos, he asks to come with me 🙂
