Collection:Photo a Week 2010 Camera:Ricoh Caplio R4 Location: Hume Highway, near Gundadai, NSW, Australia Date: Jan 23, 2010 Aperture: 4.8 ISO: 100 Shutter: 2 secs Date Uploaded: Feb 2, 2010
I've held off putting in my week 4, because it is connected to a challenge entry. Although we went to Sydney the weekend before last (11 hours drive from home, and just as far back again!) it was such a rushed trip (to get vehicle parts) that we were in the car pretty well all the time. I amused myself by taking heaps of light trail shots. (My husband was doing the driving.)
I used my little Ricoh Caplio because it just does this sort of thing better than my Canon (which I also tried).
Cropped fairly heavily, curves adjustment, a bit of cloning, probably some brightness/contrast and sharpen (I did this in two sittings and can't really remember) resize and stw.
You managed to gt a great shot of these light trails. I never seem to:(
Good decision to crop, brighten etc. I like the series of small circles on the left coupled with the swooping lines towards the right.
