Not macro droplets this time but light trails :) I've not posted anything for awhile so ............
After seeing petemc's entry into the comp I thought I'd have a go at some light trail photos as I've never done them before and I had about 2 hours to kill on a coach.

I know they ain't great shots BUT to be fair they were taken semi handheld on a compact with no image stabilisation.

taken with the bus at a bus stop I like the way the brake lights stop at the red traffic light

in this one I was trying to get the bus in front in focus with blured buses and people either side but the 2 buses wouldn't stay equi distant to each other.

again trying to get a car in focus with everything else blured this was the best of about 50 shots :(

I like this one but couldn't tell you why! Any ideas?

Hi - quite adventurous stuff you are attempting there !

Some really interesting results and commendable as such ... even if I am not an expert and have yet to attempt this form of pics myself. :clap:

I like them ... for what its worth. :thumb:

Did the bus windows I assume you were behind, perhaps contribute to the blurring effect ? :confused-

Best wishes, :p

I guess they couldn't have helped the admittly sometimes poor autofocus my fuji has but I personally blame the uneven roads, differences in car speeds and me drinking for 10 hours the day before :dizzy:

hi gemok
i too love the 3rd one best of all, maybe because its just more 'arty', could be a competition winner in my book.
