Did you know that you were going to end up with that blue streak? If not, what a stoke of luck. The whole red, white, and blue combination is amazing.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this Photo on a bridge over the By-pass in Edinburgh!

Time

It was taken around 8pm in winter. (COLD)

Lighting

I was Jammy (=lucky) enough to get this truck going by with the sign that was blue creating an extra layer.

Equipment

Canon 350D, 50mm (f1.8) tripod, remote release

Inspiration

I love taking images at night and creating scenes that wouldn't always be visual to the naked eye.

Editing

Small amount of sharpening and curves applied in Photoshop.

In my camera bag

I now have Canon 40D, Canons Film EOS..Canon lenses...10-22mm - 17-85mm IS - 50mm f1.8 - 100mm macro - 100-400mm L IS (not all at the same time.) Thinking about an upgrade soon for the Digital.

Feedback

Timing, light and patience! Try different locations and times of day to improve traffic flow in the image.
