light trails

Good Morning

As you may know I often head out early morning well before the sunrise, hoping for a nice sunrise, and while strolling waiting for the sun to rise I may try and get some photos of light trails from cars, something i enjoy catching and seeing.

and thats what this post is about, of course with long exposures and on a tripod is always possible they may not come out as initially planned, so this post will include some I feel came out well, some not so much and even one light trail I was not trying for.

This first one comes under the category I wasn't trying for a light trail
the other morning it was raining most of the night and I didnt expect to get out for a walk, but then at about 10 past 5 in the morning i heard the rain stop so decided to head downtown to the historic district thinking after the rain could be a good time to get some shots of the cobblestone roads.

Which I was focusing on for this shot the cobblestone streets and the light son in the Restaurant and a car came driving by.

the lights on in the top floor of the restaurant seems to be some sort of gym or something I saw some ladies working out in there

NOw this next one is under the Oops category, was trying for the shot above and a car started coming along the road towards me during the long exposure so I had to quickly move me and the camera and tripod off the road.

This was from another day this past week, another very foggy morning which most mornings have been this week, and again I parked by the port but walked to a parking garage and up to the top floor and saw this view

and a different sort of light trail, I was on the Hurricane barrier wall on the Fairhaven side and saw this fishing boat heading through the gap between the walls and heading out, now this is a bit of a I didn't get it right shot, I should have perhaps done a longer exposure to gets its trail right across the image.

and I was going to crop it to give that effect but funnily enough I preferred it ending stopping part way through

I love light trail photos. I did some light trails back in the Philippines, on one of the busy streets of Cebu City. It was fun.

Fun light trail photos. I like the chaotic one where you had to haul everything out of the road to avoid a car lol The patterns remind me of a hike tracking app that I use. My hiking routes often look crazy. Yesterday we biked out on a causeway across some water and the route on the app looked like we just wandered off into the water.

LOL but I do know what you mean with the tracking app, I used it on mine a few times and with me zigzagging here and there for photos it did look somewhat like that photo

Wow, those turned out really awesome. I really like the first one even though it doesn't have the light trails. It's cool when they are able to use spaces for multiple uses like that on different levels.

Beautiful shots always love that foggy morning look and I've always been curious how you do light trails for photos. I'm for sure totally not the best photo expert around here lol

thanks, I do love foggy misty mornings, and light trails are fun to do but you for sure need a tripod or somewhere to sit your camera or phone steady as they need long exposures

Thanks, and I think it is possible on an iphone but you do need an app that lets you control the settings and a small tripod or a steady place to sit your phone for a long exposure

And again stunning and atmospheric photos from you. Thanks for sharing. There is a certain charm in such night photos. I especially like it when the lantern is shrouded in haze or fog.
