Description I've been out with a friend yesterday night, playing pool, and afterwards we just decided to grab my cam and drive around a bit...we came to a bridge, and I picked my cam and tripod and took a couple of long exposures.
obviously, I changed the colours...at least in the left, to have to "teams" racing apart from that I did not do much editing, except for some noise reduction.
I know, pretty much every photographer does this at least once in his lifetime, well, now it's my turn and it was fun, so expect more
enjoy!

I really dig the concept. looks like one way to hell one way to haven. good triangular layout. I like that the lanes have diffrent details. (e.g. glowing stripes on the left lane, or the barrier markes on the right).
still it feels kinda off.
somehow it doesnt feel quite symmetric. the red lane takes more space than the white, id change that to get a more "even spaced" feeling.

while the white stripes present themselves in a good manner on the red lane, they almost disappear on the white lane. that enhances the uneven look, in a unfavourable way.

okay so oviously the roads go in the same direction. why not change that? since the light arc, coming from the whine lane, in the upper third looks onesided, wouldnt it be a good addition for the red lane too? having it going in the opposite direction.

Is there a Gradient going from black to darkblue? adding this would give the night more depth.

Its an eyecatching peace non the less, but could provide some more aspect for second glancers

Very interesting to look at, and honestly I feel like you took a unique approach to this kind of unoriginal idea. Good job. ^^

Thanks a bunch! By the way, I just saw that you requested this as a print...I've taken this a good many years ago, I'm not sure if I still have the highres file of that around. So I will likely not be able to put up a print of that one, but I'll see if by some chance I kept the file

Thanks for the support! =]

Hehe nah, it may seem like that, but really, one hardly ever sells a print. Most people only say how much they'd like a print, but when it comes to actually spending money, they're suddenly gone

No, not that . They're to the left of the lane divider, starting about halfway up the image. Maybe they're cracks in the road, illuminated by headlights?

memod In reply to iamthejabberwock [2007-08-01 21:53:59 +0000 UTC]

oh, those I think were either markings that had been made on the road when they were building something there, or asphalt rims of street patches that htey re-did

They look neat - like marks of aliens who signed their names while the road was being built.

Those colours are just gorgeous. I love how vibrant they are in comparison to the darkness around them..the way the lines give that implicit impression of motion.
