June 2006 Winner - 'Movement'

Struggled with this months theme, there seem to be so many good entries that I have to admit to feeling a little intimidated.

Here's my effort, taken from the new RBS bridge in Edinburgh late on thursday evening.

Resized as per the rules, basic raw processing, cropped and border added.

Canon 350D
Shutter - 25 seconds
apature -f/36
iso - 100
focal length - 46mm

No need to feel intimidated at all - I really like this - good effect.

Mine looks even more rubbish now compared to most of the entries ...

Very nice indeed. I like that a lot: clear, clean and cool.

I like this also and was thinking along similar lines.
You could have done with a bit more traffic tbh though especially the tail lights heading away from you, really nice angle though, I like the way the road snakes up into the corner of the frame

Like this a lot. The street lights look good as well as the headlights.

Cheers folks, Ideally more traffic on the other side of the road would have been good. But the friendly security guard asked me to move on after only 15 minutes of being there.

Thumbs up

Very good shot mate and I agree this months theme is quite tricky.

You could of upset the security Guard for another take on the movement theme though?

I like this. The overall lightness of the shot is not what is normally seen for these type of images so it's just that little bit different

I quite like the fact there's no red tail lights, makes the image stand out from most traffic timelapses.

I really like the colours on this shot, as someone said earlier you don't normally get these colours on a night shot like this, i think its excellent.
i also like the diffused lighting affect on the street lamps, fantastic.

I very nearly voted for this, the lighting looks very peaceful.
I am tempted to go out and try to get a similar shot of the M6, I may even be able to get the Lake District in the background.
I didn't know the kit lens went down down to f36?
