On a raised acr park, you will get vibration through the ground. Whichever lens you go for, you are going to be down to 1/2 sec or possibly more. ANY vibration, or wind, will ruin your shot.
I would go for the hills, get there on Saturday, spend a couple of hours doing a recce around the hlls overlooking from the same side of the Mway. Then go and look from M&S car park and have a coffee and doughnut. See which of the options is better. Take the two lenses you are humming and harring between....and set the shot up. Then you will know.
Unfortunately my brief for the shoot includes demonstrating the effect that this demolition will have on the motorway network so i'm going to have to take the shots from Meadow Hall. However, i have now roped in a companion for the shoot who has shot 28 out of the 32 power stations in the country at night time so hopefully he'll be able to point out any mistakes i may make and we're going to get there at about 1:30 to get some test shots in.
I think the idea of the raquet balls sounds interesting, it has also been suggested to me that if i am doing a very long exposure it would be worth throwing a black cloth over the lens when the shock wave hits and removing once the vibrations subside.
I may "fake" my own shockwave before the event to see which method gives the best results.
