Victoria Terrace - Accidental light trail
I felt like today was a good day to post another light trail, this one however is a slightly older one. In fact, this is my first light trail photo, but it was entirely unintentional. I was taking a long exposure shot of Victoria Terrace in the Old town of Edinburgh when I car passed in the street below (victoria Street). I have posted shots of this street before in the past from very different angles. It is a great place, full of lots of quaint but delicious restaurants and the only cheese monger I have ever seen in Edinburgh. There could be more.. but I wouldn't know.
The light trail was a happy accident that got me thinking. I thought about how I could add interest to a city scene by doing long exposures with traffic. It helps give a sense of motion and life to an image and helps add to the perception that you are in a place that is alive.
Thanks for Looking.

I often do the opposite, I wait in a spot that all the people and life disappear and I get a clean shot of the street 😝
I do that a lot too :) The nice thing about long exposures is that you don't have to wait for people to move out of the shot as they tend to not show up in the photos because they are moving.. unless they are carrying a light of some kind, then they show up as a trail :)
Have you ever seen those shots of LA and other cities where people have taken photos in such a way that it looks completely deserted? Really cool.. and eerie.
