Top Ten: Streaky

 

The photo you see above gets in on a technicality.  I shot it the morning of December 31, but it didn't appear on the blog until January, so it counts.

I was doing one of my favorite things, shooting light trails.  The location was Route 315, where it meets Keystone Ave. and Oak St. in Pittston Township.  It was about 3:15 in the morning and there was plenty of traffic.  Apparently, it was shift change time at one of the businesses in the massive industrial park.

Inside baseball:  there are the telltale signs of a small aperture in the form of a starburst effect with the street lights.

Needless to say, I just love doing this.

I played with light trails again at the end of January.  Above, it's Interstate 81 and the Central Scranton/Biden Expressway veering off to the right.  The shot was taken on the Route 307 overlook above Scranton, very, very early in the morning.

Long exposure photography has become one of my favorite things to do.  You don't have to rely on the weather for a good shot, and it's always an adventure because you have no idea what type of traffic will pass before your camera while the shutter is open.

Tomorrow, Lackawanna County's London.
