Sublime and Beautiful Sunday Light trails

This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by c0ff33a@c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by ace108@ace108.

NOw last week for these challenges I shared some attempts at making star trails with glow sticks, this week I am still on the light trail Kick but this times ones made by vehicles, so a mix of nature and man made I guess.

Now I have posted some shots of car light trails like this before but I was looking for a spot with a better view of a busy road to get some and I had some sort of success starting with this one

Probably my favorite shot of this series for what I was trying for, I drove by a walking bridge over a highway so walked onto it and lined up a shot, fortunately with this bridge the fence was a wide wire mesh and to get this shot I was able to shoot through the gap in the mesh, while still having the camera on the tripod, which I 'able to do with this next shot so the wire mesh fence is clearly visible

I do how like the road and light trails curve out in this next shot, but I couldn't line up the tripod to shoot through the mesh, and if I had tried handheld I know it would have been a mess, but I do have an idea to try at this spot again sometime

This next shot shows the road and bridge I was standing on for the last photo

Now this next shot is a rival for my favorite shot in this post, I was up on the harbor walk trying just getting a shot of the pier and the subtle colors in the sky, I knew I would get a light trail from the boat on the water and expected to edit that out, but then as I was taking the long Exposure shot a couple of cars did a loop in the car park on the right, so an accidental light trail but I really like this one.

And to finish off another light trail as I was taking a shot looking up the ramp heading up to the cove walk, this wasn't an accidental bonus, I waited patiently for a couple of cars to be coming to get this shot, it was early morning and not many were out on the roads at that time

On a side note and I know kind of hope no one will read this at the bottom of the post, just a little vent more for me than anyone else
I set, I think a new record for my posts, on my post yesterday a total of 27 downvotes I suspect most are from a voting trail following ocdb
I understand it’s to counter a large upvote from another account and not getting stressed about it but I will just say

I fully understand downvotes to counter spam and plagiarism but I feel it would be good for the system if when giving a downvote one had to either leave a comment or pick from a checklist why they have chosen to downvote a post

And that’s all folks


unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.
