Recently I joined a Camera club close to my house, something I suggest you do if you want to progress your photography skills and connections, and some of us went on a field trip to Hammersmith Broadway in London (March 2023) to make light trail photographs from various vantage points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My camera for the evening was my Canon R6 with the RF 16mm lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The settings were kept very simple as ISO 100 (for the cleanest shots) F\/8 to f22 and shutter speeds of 10 to 30 seconds, depending on the mood I was going for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a gallery for the evenings results, which needed very little “cleaning up” in Photoshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one is the only one I used Photoshop to merge two images together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the vantage point I was set up at, traffic alternated from one side to the other so I took a few images of both side and these two were selected as the best match.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I assumed there would be quite a bit of traffic, as we started at home time for most office workers, but for some reason traffic was a lot lighter than anticipated. If the traffic was heavier the trails would by much more condensed and fuller, but I think these have worked well also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This really is an enjoyable technique to add to your armoury and if you get the chance to pop out with your camera and tripod, need a tripod due to the long exposures you will need, and get creating your own light trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wishing you well<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
