Taken from a bridge over the M40 motorway outside oxford. Chose the spot because of an absence of motorway lighting, and the curve of the road. It was freezing cold and windy as hell when I was taking the shot, but it was fun. Lit completely with ambient headlights.

Taken out of the window of a train outside Totness at around 100mph. Motion of me relative to train tracks was minimal, but motion relative to background was high, blurring the background nicely but leaving a nice sharp pair of tracks.

Thanks Pandya for the photos you posted and the explanation. Do you remember your shooting settings? Did you touch the images using any software?

Some of those are cool but most of the still scenes with moving vehicles or humans just look like crappy shots. Like why are there people blurred at the fruit stand or the water slide? Clearly the objects in motion weren't the focus (no pun intended) of those shots. And some just don't make sense. Like the first one. The building was moving on him? In both directions?

Yeah. The light trails on the motorway was shot with an EOS40D and a 17-40L lens at 17mm, ISO100, f/4 and a 25 second shutter. The train tracks was shot with the same equipment, ISO100, 17mm, f/8 and 1/25th second shutter. Some minor post work was done on both images to tidy them up, as I do with all my shots, but effects of motion blur were entirely done with the equipment, not in photoshop. Black and white conversion was done in Photoshop on the train tracks.

rashikaviani - no, most of them are not done in photoshop. It's what happens when you have a camera shutter open for an extended amount of time.

^ Just one of the shots I took on a freezing cold night. :)

Those 45 photo's are just amazing though!

Nice. Can you share the settings you used?

That looks strangely like one of mine:

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn guns and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Recycle Bin has been broken for literal YEARS now. The setting to delete files older than 30 days from the bin which is on by default doesn't even work. I have files older than 4 months in it and they are just there still...

      They’re really desperate to ingrain AI into society hoping to tug the heart strings of public to jump unto the boat of destruction to humanity’s individualism.
