Cheers,

I actually over exposed, it was virtually pitch black when I took it; 30secs on ISO200 film.

That worked well I think. How many shots did you take to get it?

Thanks. I actually got that on the first shot so obviously pretty chuffed. Second shot was this:

Tremendous!

Did you photoshop at all? The colours in the grass etc look great, especially as it was nr pitch black.

Great shots.

It would be interesting to set up at a busy junction or roundabout. Indicators make dotted lines!

There's a crazy roundabout nr Canary Wharf with dozens of traffic lights in the middle constantly changing to different colours (I think its called modern art!??), would be interesting to grab a slow shot of that at night!

You mean this thing....



I didn't realise that the lights on that "art" actually changed.... I thought they just stayed as they were..... Happy to be corrected though....

Must admit it threw me completely the first time I drove up to it! It was a bit like the Italian Job with all three lights on one, and nothing on another!

It would appear that lane discipline was good during that 30 second period!

I like the way one of the cars took "the racing line" round the fast right hander approaching me

Could've been overtaking too?

But why not. Dark road, not many cars. Foot down material

Excellent pictures!
Two things did tickle me though.
1/ I wonder how many people slowed down when they saw you on the bridge with a camera pointing at them?

2/ some excellent lane discipline there
