Weekly Challenge #130 - Light Trails
Posted By: Graham V, 04-09-2010, 12:37 PM

I had a look back and haven't seen this covered in previous weekly challenges.

Any image with a moving light source (relative to the camera) will be acceptable; traffic, torches, stars or even Solargraphy if anyone can work out how to do it.

Looking forward to seeing your entries



Challenge Starts:
NOW

Challenge Ends:
Friday, April 16th @ 11:59PM Official Server Time

The fine print....
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread, and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera will do or a Samsung DSLR.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.

Good question Jeff.
It would be a shame to exclude some possibilities that have just come to mind, like a car moving past street lights.

I have clarified in the o.p. to reflect this.

Oh and shots can be from any time frame up to the 16th April.

It's been a while since I've had a chance to do some time lapse photography, but here's my contribution:

Halfway through this weekly challenge so just a little bump as a reminder that images need to be in by Friday.

So there's still time to have a trawl through your archives or plan a late night shoot.

Looking forward to seeing some more of your favourite light trails

If the fireworks don't qualify as light trails then judge this one based on the headlight trails at the bottom.

Can't see anything wrong with fireworks. It fits right in.

You folks have entered some fabulous photos! I haven't had a chance to work on this project this week so pulled one from the archives, a hand-held shot out my office window at a snowplow passing.
