Light trails around Ecclesall Road // Personal

While I was out with my sister at Halloween, we walked down to Ecclesall Road to take some images of light trails from moving vehicles. We both found this quite fun and interesting to do as we were stood around waiting to see how the image would come out. I had my Nikon D70 camera ( I swapped cameras) on a long shutter speed while I was leaning against a flat post waiting for the camera to capture the light trails from the moving vehicles around. Each image came out slightly different, with some having larger light trails than others.

As you can see from these images, each picture came out slightly different. I am very impressed with these as I haven't done this kind of thing that much, and Sheffield is nowhere near as busy as London is. I find light trail images very interesting to look at for a number of reasons, firstly because the photographer has managed to capture the image at the perfect second to get as good as effect as they did, secondly you can see the streaks of light going across the image which I always like to look at closely, and thirdly I always used to look out my bedroom window down at the cars on Ecclesall Road and want to take an interesting light trail image of it but had no idea until my dad mentioned it to me over the phone whilst I was in London taking photos for Street Photography. I will probably use this long shutter effect now every time I have my camera with me at evening time. I am looking forward to using this effect in the different cities and countries I go to from now on.
