Cars. Going fast.

I planned on going out to take some photos of the Mitchell Library in Glasgow but there's so many poles and signs in the way that it was almost impossible to get a good shot!

So, I ended up taking this above the M8. It's not the most imaginative and was taken using the kit lens but its not too bad I think.

C+C welcome.

There's rather too much ambient light around for the light trails to have their most powerful effect but it is still well executed so good attempt

Cheers,
Rob

Yeah good point. I'll give it a shot on a country road or something. Try and not get run over too.

Something I intend to try this. Could do with more traffic on the road for me and agree with Rob on the lighting.

Yeah it was late on, I might try go out at rush hour or something and see what happens!

Nice image but for me possibly better if...

The right top corner white area is redundant. How about going back, absolutely centre your viewpoint on that central lane so the dashes form two visual lines (maybe starting right at the bottom corners) to the tunnel and crop the image so the other side of the carriageway is omitted.

Use a tripod and get enough DoF to get the blue signs sharper.
