In this video, I explain how to photograph light trails. A beginner tutorial!
If you fancy taking pictures like the one in this video's thumbnail, then this video is perfect for you! I guarantee this kind of photography is way easier than you probably imagine. All you need is a half-decent camera and a sturdy tripod. Couple that with a good location, you're almost done!
This type of photography is perfect for wire-wool photography and firework photography too! It's typical of long exposure photography at night.
Watch the video and if you've got any questions please ask in the comments section.
Cheers
Gary

Cracking video Gary, once again you break the technical aspects of photography down to a level that can be understood by the masses. Great dedication by the way too, that was a late night, we appreciate it.

Very timely video Gary. I drove past there a couple of weeks ago and remembered your previous video and was going to go back and re watch as I'm thinking of having a go as I've not done any light trails for a while. Great video and great images.

@jimcooke5590 3 года назад

Brilliant and interesting to watch Gary, those images were just awsome and thanks for sharing with us

@justifiedsoul69 3 года назад

Thanks for this Gary! I love light trails but haven't really done anything since lockdown, so needed inspiration for a new shoot to get me out again. Now I'm studying the maps of my local area looking for a potential location with a nice bend and some background to shoot!

Thanks for the tutorial. I just retired and am taking up photography. I’ve enjoyed taking shots with my iPhone. I’ve upgraded with a more serious camera. My first shot of skyline was a success. I will use this to prepare my 2nd photo shoot from a similar vantage here in Hawaii where I live. Very excited to see the results. Thanks for your guidance.

@cynical1952 3 года назад

Excellent video as per normal Gary and it has inspired me to give it a go - many thanks.

@ChrisPattonPhotography 3 года назад

Really enjoyed watching that Gary, what a fantastic location. I've been looking for a good vantage point to have a go at this. Fantastic images, the black and white look great 👍

@tobyjugg6202 3 года назад

Your reminding me more & more of the great Mike Brown - myth busting with a straight foreward approach - showing how to do things instead of blathering on. He was a master at it and so are you Gary. Here on Anglesey we cant get that kind of elevation, but doing the Suspension Bridge traffic gives some great results. Great vid and images Gary - big thumbs up.

@randybelaire8439 3 года назад

Very inspiring video Gary! I’ve done some of this before but is has been much too long. You have inspired me to make plans to do it again soon!

@TudorSmithPhotography 3 года назад

Another excellent video. Thanks for the tips. Lateness (in the summer months) seems to be the key. I’ve had a crack at this myself but my location was unimaginative. I love the way you made use of that S bend. Thank you 🙏
