Long Exposure Light Trails on a Roundabout


20170319-IMG_5473.jpg

As my very clever and imaginative title suggests, this is a long exposure image I took too try and capture some light trails on a roundabout near the centre of town here in Edinburgh, Scotland.

As you can see, those pesky street lights threw down some serious lens flare issues which I was unable to resolve. I would love to shoot this place again but from a more elevated position. There is a cathedral behind me in this shot, but somehow I think they might frown on my climbing onto their roof for a better vantage point.

..I had considered a drone for a cool aerial shot but the paperwork is insane. The business case, the risk assessment, the permissions, appeals and applications.. just to legally fly in the city .. probably a week of paperwork for a 10 minute flight. Maybe if I was doing it commercially.. but I'm not.
