A long exposure shot of traffic as it heads into Cork City from the direction of Blackpool. This was very difficult to take and the original shows quite a bit of shake even though I had the camera balanced on a pedestrian traffic light button thingy. Love the streaks though.

How to short circuit
Filed in Academy Street, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Lights, Long Exposure, Look up, Photography, Urban, WordsEver since I posted Short Circuit I’ve been meaning to post a small tutorial on how I did it.
