Southbound on 110 this evening, towards downtown LA
X-Pro1 and 23mm Lens - 2.5 sec f/11
Thanks Pete - traffic was certainly 'solid' - it took me another two and a half hours to get home from this location!Very effective Chris and I especially like the 'solid' lines in the second.
Thanks Beth - will try and find something with perspective next time!nice, but i think the comps. would benefit from having a strong leading line in the foreground...
excellent photos, the second one's comp. works better for me. what's with the rainbow lights in lane 4 on the first?
Thanks Julian - I like that pulsed effect as well - it really only happens at twilight with shorter exposure times. I guess I could crank-up the ISO and get the same effect as it gets darker, but I tend to avoid high ISO as I want to keep noise to a minimum.I quite like the broken lights in the first, definitely the first time I have seen a shot of this nature. Two nice photos.
Thanks Brian - yes, I think there were some emergency response vehicles trying to push through traffic.Looks like you caught some evasive manuevering in that first one, Chris. Two nice shots. The colors are very nice. I seem to recall you posted a few images of San Diego area freeways at night from overpasses a couple of years ago. Those were really nice, too, as I recall.
Thanks Peter - took a while to find the location, but now I know where it is, I'm sure I'll be backChris;
Two words;
Fantastic..................FANTASTIC!!!!
Good idea Rob - will give it a blastCrazy thought: black and white?
Thanks RobWonderful!
Thanks Ralph - my good friend Gary likes that shot the best as well - I think it's the perspective compression effect that really adds punch as you sayWow! Nice. I like the second tele shot best. Lest clutter on the sides and the buildings stand taller behind the traffic. Well done there Chris.
Thank you sirIt just gets better, utterly superb photography!
Respect.
Thanks Brian - there's something about this film stuff which is very appealingSmashing shot that last one, too, Chris.
Thanks Glenn - fits the format well - the camera was actually pointing down from the bridge quite a lot to get this view pointWowza that's some good Chris. The pano is incredible. Wicked good!!!!
Thanks Pete - first time I've heard Velvia described as subtleVery nice. I like the slightly more subtle rendering of the reds and the extra height works very well I think.
