Location
The photo was taken in Birmingham UK... actually from my friend's car!!Time
It was late evening... the traffic was building up.Lighting
I was fascinated by the lights illuminating the building and also the traffic. I was a passenger and decided to experiment with the camera on my phone.Equipment
I use a Samsung G3 phoneInspiration
There was so many lights coming from the lite-up business, the busy traffic stop lights and on coming lights. These were set off against the dark evening.... I just put the phone on timer and a long exposure time and moved it around.Editing
I added more contrast between the lights and the darkness.In my camera bag
I usually just have my phone.... I've upgrades to an G7!Feedback
My advise it not to be scared to experiment. I like to try techniques; looking at different lighting, it could be the strong sunlight to the sun setting and how light is reflected at night.
