Winner: River of Light
I was doing my first cross nation drive and made a lot of scenic Michigan . This one is a scenic exit in Southern Utah that I had to pull out the camera and tripod for .

Roller Rink Street
We had our usual previous natural spring C in Denver and I demand the opportunity to take some jibe . The sozzled streets and fall coke really help out the look . In Photoshop I combined three light lead gibe with a 4th to make the snow visible . Canon T2i , f/10 , ISO 100 , 8 sec exposure .

Lonely Road
Just past dusk , I find oneself a wind road near my sign of the zodiac with a beneficial spot to take out over and set up the tripod . I set a 10 second wait timer and a 25 second pic , and set the aperture by concentre on the dim sky and adjust the fluorine - plosive until the photographic camera ’s light meter was rivet . I jumped in the car , and then drive past the camera and over the mound . My favorite part of this blastoff is that you’re able to see the wave in the faint trail cause by change over gears , which creates a little delivery forth and back in the railroad car . Equipment : Canon G7X ( 25 sec . picture , f/10 , ISO-320 ) , tripod , and Porsche 911 Post processing : Cropped and little blemish correction . No color modification .

Over Steel
The mount is from a lookout over Hamilton , Ontario , Canada . In the background signal are the fire from chimney in the industrial area . Steel manufacturing . I stress to do these shots every so often and keep looking for more interesting angles . I just discovered this specific lookout this preceding calendar week . My photographic camera setup is a Canon T2i and I ’m using a Sigma 30 mm f/1.4 Art series premier lens . I do n’t have an ND filter yet(its on the leaning of purchases ) so the shot is using f/14 at 30 second . The traffic in this country is n’t very heavy at this prison term so I had to time my shots when I notice a bunch of cable car head my direction . rent a bit of work to get them in both focussing .

take these exposure last dark , Saturday April 19th , on the top steps at the Art Museum in Philadelphia reckon down the Parkway straight off at City Hall . Used a Nikon 7000 with 50 mm prize lens , 30 second exposure . Not as much traffic as I would have liked for the effect I was going for , but the stop and go in the foreground caught my heart .
Michael McKee

I went out last night with a friend , we did few tries , then she got really cold even I take over her my sweater , I would wait longer for more cars on the bridgework to get more light trais but … u eff , safety equipment first … so I just chose one image . locating : Kosice , Slovakia . Canon 5D mark iii , 70 - 200 2.8 lens + extender 2x .

Delancey Street
I took this shot on Saturday , April 18 as the sun was setting on Delancey Street with the Williamsburg bridge deck flat behind me . This poor girl was wait for a towage truck for an hr and a one-half when I took this pic . believe the contrast of the stand - still ‘ 65 Chevrolet Chavelle against the light trail was a great effect . Came back to this spot about 30 minutes by and by and she was pass . I was lucky to get this injection and in spades in the right place at the right time . As far as preferences , I used a Canon 5D Mark III with a aperture setting of f/22 and an ISO setting of around 500 . Some minimum military post production done to get more accurate colour and reduction of some tailing .
Alex Berger
Table Mountain
My initial plan was to shoot Table Mountain in Cape Town with a ring of elevator car brightness level trail around the mint . alas the cars were too little in relation to the good deal to do so . Instead I zoomed in and went for a diagonal guesswork . Nikon D3200 , Nikon 18 - 200 mm at 200 mm , f11 , twenty . Also used a Manfrotto tripod and remote release .
Andrew Beard

TCAT Comet
I took this photo while shoot the breeze Cornell University , my alma mater . It ’s a TCAT bus which is the county bus that serves the university and City of Ithaca . The readiness - up is nothing fancy … just a random tripod borrowed from the school , Canon XSi DSLR with the kit crystalline lens stop down to f/10 only to keep it sharp throughout a decent depth of field of operations . Also there was a good trade of ambient light .

Swoosh
As the Eau Gallie Causeway connects to the mainland , the eastbound and westbound lane diverge . Between the lanes , there is a minor park , capably identify “ Triangle Park ” . It happens to be the perfect place to take photo of the cars that go sweeping by . Not only can you shoot cars as they nearly come justly at you , you could do it from behind a concrete barrier , which is always a bonus . Canon EOS 60D — f/11 — 21 ” — ISO100 — 18 mm .
Mike Case

The view by itself is unbelievable and the light trails from cars zipping down LSD bring it to life story . canyon Rebel T1i and a received tripod 10 ’’ , F10 , ISO 100 . Photo choose from a construction reflection deck on Saturday night and it was cold and windy .

Manila
I always bring my slr whenever I ’m going out for a walk . Then we suddenly passed to Roxas Blvd . Manila . We have to cross the highway so we took the over flip . I was thinking to take a barb of car trails from there , but I ’m in doubt cause the city is prone to snatchers etc . But i really want to take a shot of it . So i did very quick , take a few shooting and left the domain safely .
I ’m beaming i catch a shot . Lol . Photo necessitate by a Canon eos rebel t5i without tripod ( sat in a concrete side of the flyover in our city )

SoCal
I thought that since living in SoCal I would have this challenge nailed we have thruway and freeway overpass galore . Due to also the heavy dealings we have even at dark , I was n’t able-bodied to capture anything that I really loved . I ’m sure that also has to do with my amateur condition in photography . I tried my hired hand with few automobile and at a much different angle . I kneel down to curb level of a side street and took my exposure count up at the cars driving by . Since there were only a few drive by at a clock time , I had much more success . I screw that it looks like the light are drift . I did have to use an app and tried a few . The only one I care was Long Exposure Camera 2 which I downloaded on my droid maxx phone .
