Compositionally these are poor, but i didn't have a lot of time and just wanted to see how easy/difficult this was. It's actually quite easy :)

No trail here, but it looked nice apart from the bus shelter.

EDIT

Apologies about the sizes :oops:

Technically good but your location lets you down a little in my opinion as there are many distracting items in the picture (man at bus shelter, parked cars and streetlights). However I have to say that trail 2 which contains a bus I presume with the extra light looks really good as it almost overwhelmes the rest of the distracting items :D

There I've completely contradicted myself and only had one glass of wine tonight ;)

Good technique but maybe a bridge over a busier road for best effect?

I agree with you, the location was poor. I'll wait for better weather before trying a bridge i think, though i do intend to do more.

A cable release would be good too :)

Cable release and some black card is essential. The black card to cover the lense when there is a lull in the traffic ;)

As an experiment they have come out really well. As you said yourself a better location is needed for when you do the real thing. Cant wait to give it a go myself.
