What could be a better way to spend an evening than shooting light trails in my favourite city? The bollards on the right of the image were not very photo friendly and I tried to compose as best as possible using them as lead in lines. Those were installed by the Metropolitan Police as security barriers after a terrorist attack on Westminster Bridge, near the Houses of Parliament, in 2017.

An epic shoot with a remarkable photographer, Andrew G Robertson. What he doesn’t know about photography is probably not worth knowing. An incredibly skilled, highly experienced, and humble professional. But don’t take my word for it, check his photostream and find out for yourselves.

Technical detail (for whoever is interested):

Nikon D750, 24-120 f/4.0 lens @24mm
ISO100
8 seconds
Gitzo tripod, and …. Hope.

Have a most wonderful weekend, Flickrites!

When the total eclipse hit, it was completely masked by clouds. You couldn't see a damn thing for around a minute. Totality only lasted 2 and quarter minutes at my location so you can imagine how frustrating that was. Luckily, the clouds broke enough to allow for a few shots on goal. This was at the end of totality, when the sun starts to peak through again and makes the diamond ring effect. Even caught some plasma flares around the edges. Fort Worth, Texas, USA, April 2024
