Description
Shot from 'the road to no-where' that sits above the m8 in glasgow. Overlooking Charing Cross.A daunting peice of road to drive on, a brilliant peice of road to photograph.
About 2months ive waited for an opurtunity to shoot this location, but ive never found the vantage spot. Till tonight with =geekster
30second exposure on my 300D. I love the lines of this shot, the way the red flows into the white. Just winds through the back of the frame.
So many cars too

This shot is awesome! Last time I looked at it, it had the Hilton sign in it. It was a good choice to remove it because now it's a piece of art, rather than a really cool add for Hilton. haha Keep up the good work!

Most motorway long exposures leave me cold, they have a horrible yellow cast to them (maybe the exposure lasts for too long?) but yours are superb, quite subtle.

aye, usually they have a massive horrible orange glow from the light polution. But the 300d's sensor, when set on tungsten seems to kinda compensate for it!
