Drawing with light...

I have always been amazed by photographs of lights. I know without light there wouldnt be a photograph to begin with, but what I refer to is photographing with light as your subject. Like photographing fireworks and traffic. Also photographing some light art created bt yours truly.
My first attempt was a midnight trial with my cam on my balcony trying to get the lights of the few cars passing by and this is what I got. Luckily, I also got a lone cyclist crossing the road in an almost "Indian" way :) (Snap taken in Japan).



Above snap taken at f13 and an Exposure time of 30 seconds at ISO 100.
Sometimes one is so involved in the process of creating the perfect picture, he misses to notice the garbage bags lying bang in the middle.
Another opportunity which I got was when I got free passes to a fireworks display nearby and I went with camera tripod and all.

I had never photographed fireworks before and had bought my remote control for this occasion. I really loved the output and at ISO 100, the snaps were too good to be true (atleast for me ;) )




 While coming back from the fireworks, I tried my hand at a getting a shot of heavy traffic.
I love the way one of the cars has its blinkers on :)


Finally something which I did almost on a whim of mine :)
