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
