Came Like A Comet, Blazing Your Trail
Ok, the proof of the pudding being in the printing or something like that. I've just collected the results of the other evening's messing about with the camera. More results are now visible on flickr, but I'm quite pleased with the results of what is always going to be a bit of a gamble.
This is the sort of background my photography comes from - it's a pretty straight documentary here's a thing exactly how it looks approach.
But this is probably the picture I'm most happy with from this bunch - it looks far more abstract, and feels far more creative due to leaving stuff to chance. Getting this sort of result is a matter of luck, based on the impossibility of guessing how much traffic is coming in the next minute or two. And for this one, the shutter button was held down manually rather than using a cable release, which accounts for a slight wobble in one or two other shots from that view.
