This is my favourite of the Challenge photos. I like the winding light trail leading us to the protagonist standing beneath the stars. It is as if he cannot allow himself to step into the orange light of the streetlight from the other world that is seeping into the mouth of the underpass. If there were underpasses like this when I was young, we would have called it The Magic Tunnel. And thumbs up for Cumbernauld on this occasion.

The best image of The Riverside Museum I have seen, well done Graeme.

In answer to Benoni's question. The exposure was 15 seconds. The subject stayed in the frame for around 7 or 8 seconds while I painted him with differing amounts of light. I then turned the light off to allow him to move out of the scene. The remaining time was used to paint the background solid.

Thanks guys. I had bought a new tripod recently and i wanted to try some longer exposure shots at night.I think this one was about 25 seconds although as Gary says the EXIF data is showing something like 1 sec.It took me a while experimenting with diferent speeds etc but i quite liked this one.Cheers.

Cumbernauld has many underpasses, but this one is in a league of its own. Much better than the expensive failure that was the Neon Waves.
More pictures of the underpass on the designer's website.

I you move your mouse over the photo a button should appear in the top left hand corner. Click on the button to display the EXIF data.
I noticed yesterday that I've made a mistake in how I store the shutter speed. Photographs with exposures longer than one second are not displaying the correct shutter speed - I'll try to get this fixed.

Liked this one also, seems like a very posh underpass.

Very intriguing, how long was the exposure?

A fantastic capture!! The standard in the "Challenge" was much higher than the standard comp this month so very well done indeed. Would you mind sharing exif &/or technique?
