Commercial Street - London

Was out and about round the Brick Lane area last week and got this overlooking Commercial Street, near to the Truman brewery.

And of course the obligatory looking back at the city shot, taken from directly above Brick Lane.

That first image David, is that multiple exposure? My Mini3Pro is fixed f1.2 aperture so that’s what I have to do to achieve the light trails.

Nice set by the way

Thanks Jak,

Yes, that one is around 18 images I think. It was a bit too windy really so could only get away with 1 second exposures and with that I was still going through and culling blurred shots where wind gusts had moved the drone around a bit, so the light trails look a bit choppy.

Hi Dave, I`m always liking City shots but I could see that your white balance was out and the verticals also so I hope you don`t mind.

Believe it or not, but the white balance was OK, but I was playing a bit with colour grading. Obviously the first image is quite heavily colour graded and I was doing something similar to the skyline with view to maintain some consistency, but I am not sure that I really like it or best to stay with something more authentic like your edits takes it back to.

Look like if anything I have over-corrected the verticals on the right hand side.
