How to photograph light trails - EASY TUTORIAL!

- In this video, I explain how to photograph light trails. A beginner tutorial!
If you fancy taking pictures like the one in this video's thumbnail, then this video is perfect for you! I guarantee this kind of photography is way easier than you probably imagine. All you need is a half-decent camera and a sturdy tripod. Couple that with a good location, you're almost done!
This type of photography is perfect for wire-wool photography and firework photography too! It's typical of long exposure photography at night.
Watch the video and if you've got any questions please ask in the comments section.
Cheers
Gary

I've never seen you look or sound more enthusiastic. This style is so underrated, you should do more like this. Fantastic images Gary
Really like the last photo the best, the colour version
Your passion for photography really shows, it is very infectious! Very enjoyable watch, please do more!! 😄😄
Hi Gary, thank you for showing this tutorial I’ve long wondered how to create fantastic quality images like these containing light trails. You make things look so easy! Keep em coming - stunning images as always.
Thanks Gary. Loved the Black and White! Your enthusiasm on your videos is contagious. I find I have to go and shoot photos after I've watched them. You make it look so easy. Thanks 😊
Cracking video Gary, once again you break the technical aspects of photography down to a level that can be understood by the masses. Great dedication by the way too, that was a late night, we appreciate it.
Super nice. I guess that long exposures make everything looking 100 times better. You would never think that the highway can be so nice. As for being safe at night - a fellow photographer was attacked in Glasgow a few weeks ago and all his gear was stolen. It's a real shame. So you need to be careful.
Very true!
Light trails are just so much fun
Thanks for this Gary! I love light trails but haven't really done anything since lockdown, so needed inspiration for a new shoot to get me out again. Now I'm studying the maps of my local area looking for a potential location with a nice bend and some background to shoot!
Oh wow, I love the double layer of lights you get from the lorries. B&W is awesome
I loved seeing the trails turn to a black and white. I loved the explanation.
Light trails are fun to do. You made it easy to understand. My fave image was the 2nd from last (just before the mono version).
Your enthusiasm is contagious!
You can tell that you really enjoyed shooting these photos they are all very good. Thank you and look forward to your next adventure .
They are just stunning 👏 📸 👍 photos
Gary, great images, as usual. I was not expecting a B&W image to be displayed, and it certainly had a wow factor all its own!
Cheers David 👍👍
Gary you are such an inspiration 🙏
Very kind, cheers 👍👍
Very timely video Gary. I drove past there a couple of weeks ago and remembered your previous video and was going to go back and re watch as I'm thinking of having a go as I've not done any light trails for a while. Great video and great images.
thanks Gary
Your lessons are always so awesome!
Awesome. All your tutorials are well presented with full details. Thanks Gary.
Love the dedication
simply perfect. Enjoyed it and will try it soon
love the black and white one, thanks for the education
Fans from Indonesia ❤.... U really a pro... Explained complicated thing to the simple one. Genius 🎉
Just brilliant images,the S bend and Power station really make it. I've only ever tried this once but not a huge success, will be out looking for a suitable location now. Thanks for the tips Gary.
Thanks Gary. I have followed you on your long exposure photography videos and have enjoyed this light trails video also. Like that you keep thing SIMPLE. Have taken your advice and came away with good results. Keep up the good work.
Another great vid never realised light trails was that simple, will definitely be giving this a go . Great images as per usual . Look forward to the next video great job mate.
A Hard day's night. Love it
Great long exposures. The one before the B&W was the best.
The monochrome works for me. Thanks for sharing. Great fun.
Stunning pictures. What I like most about your videos is that you really explain everything step by step. 😎🙏🙏🙏🙏📷
Stunning results. You’ve really wet my appetite and given me food for thought. Love this Chanel, thank you.
Just returned from a trail session at a War Memorial in Airdrie Scotland. Thank you for the tips I've put them to good use my friend. Happy festive season to you and loved ones and all good fortune for 2023.
Gary another great video. Nice ideas to get started with yourself. And indeed, don't just think about your own safety and your expensive equipment. I'm already looking forward to the next video. Keep going.
Thx Gary! Gonna give this a go.
Absolutely stunning! Thanks for the great instructions!
Cracking images Gary I just love the star burst from the street lights etc , love the light trails I've never tried this , great tutorial cheers 👍👌
One of the best explanations about how light comes into your camera!
Cheers 👍👍
I really loved the video, but above all the passion with which you transmit your knowledge. You have a new subscriber. Thank you, man.
I quite like the lit up building.... Fantastic video... Thank Gary
Another excellent video. Thanks for the tips. Lateness (in the summer months) seems to be the key. I’ve had a crack at this myself but my location was unimaginative. I love the way you made use of that S bend. Thank you 🙏
Great work and tips Gary. Definitely on my list of things to try. Fabulous images.👏👏📸
I’m going out to try light trail photography and have found this video useful, some great photos and I even liked the black and white version.
super love it
Your reminding me more & more of the great Mike Brown - myth busting with a straight foreward approach - showing how to do things instead of blathering on. He was a master at it and so are you Gary. Here on Anglesey we cant get that kind of elevation, but doing the Suspension Bridge traffic gives some great results. Great vid and images Gary - big thumbs up.
Truly stunning!
This was awesome mr Gough, thank you very much. I congratulate you on your dedication to photography.
Great shots as usual Gary and the B&W looks fabulous as well 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks 👍
Brilliant and interesting to watch Gary, those images were just awsome and thanks for sharing with us
Thank you Gary. Looking forward to see more tutorials from you. John From Malta
Absolutely fantastic love them 👍
done this many times but enjoy a refreshing ! wish there were cooling towers & power stations being used in my area . using the light trails as leading lines to an industrial complex is slammin !
Thank you for explaining in a easy way. I actually got out directly to a busy Europa road and fired away :-)
Thanks..Your excitement is infectious.:)
Very nice indeed! Thank you.
I've just got into photography and this is something on my list todo..
Another top quality video my friend !! Great explanation as always .. loved the last colour image 👏👏
Stunning Gary, just stunning.
Never been that interested until now, going to give this a go later in the year. Good vlog and photos very enjoyable.
Tanks for this video and the explanation. Helped me a lot! I’m gonna try it soon .
Great Vlog, and images Gary. Been meaning to do this for ages , Thanks for sharing
Great, Once again you rang the inspirational Bell Gary, must give this a try.
Great video Gary.
Fantastic images as usual.
I also liked the B & W one which was unexpected to see.
Always learning something from your videos Gary and it's amazing how it's 22:45 and still was light out,thank you
Sunsets are ridiculously early too :)
nailed it!!! Thanks as ever for anther cracking video
Wow just amazing
Super video Gary. I will try that for sure.
Such a cool photo shoot to do...Got to try this !! Living near the sea I realised you can do similar photographing over the sea to the lights of a town...light trail look like lines across the bay! Thanks for your vids Gary...so helpful...so inspirational...Ta. Spike.
The monotone image was a peasant surprise!
Back in the 1970 s I used to get some fantastic results in Sheffield City centre at night. Of course we only had film then and a night exposure calculator which was a cardboard contraption to calculate the apature and shutter speed. The photos of the City Hall with light trails in front of it gave the image a three dimensional look and of course the multi coloured Goodwin Fountain that then existed by the Town Hall. I like the starburst effect you got in your pictures, we used to use a filtre for those. I have to say that I haven't tried long exposure night shots with digital but Devon is a very dark and boring place at night. Well done for finding a worthwhile location.
Wow just wow
cheers Andy 👍👍
Very inspiring video Gary! I’ve done some of this before but is has been much too long. You have inspired me to make plans to do it again soon!
What a fantastic tutorial, thank you very much. You're way of explaining and making it even more enjoyable. Again, thank you for sharing most valuable tips.
One word Gary.....Stunning.
Cheers 👍👍
I shot this same scene in 2015 when the chimneys and cooling towers were still in use and that distribution depot wasn't there. My Setting were F11 ISO100 91secs taken on a 6D. You captured the moment amazingly.
Really enjoyed watching that Gary, what a fantastic location. I've been looking for a good vantage point to have a go at this. Fantastic images, the black and white look great 👍
Great video. I used to love light trail photgraphy haven had chance for a long while.
I dd some lightr trails on the Grand Canal, Vencie. You get the added randon up and down & rocking and rolling.
G'day Gary. Thanks for this Gary. Really nice images and plenty of inspiration here. Stay safe mate.
Thanks for the tips Gary, gave it a go for the first time at the weekend over the M4, just a straight section unfortunately, but caught a breakdown truck lights which made the shot for me.
Thanks Gary , for a humble beginner like me this is so imformative . Great Vid. Crazy how good the b&w looks ..........
Terrific video-you are a wonderful teacher!!!
Fantastic video Gary!! Thanks for sharing!!
Great video and images, makes a nice change from the usual landscape photography 📷👍
Thanks 👍 Cheers Mike
Brilliant video. I went to that bridge tonight and got some fantastic shots. Many thanks, Gary.
Those images were superb, but I have to be honest, when that last one faded to black and white, wow, that really was just the icing on the cake - great video.
Yeah it's amazing just how cool light trails are in B&W 👍👍
As always Gary great tutorial, thanks mate👍
Thanks Gary , really interesting as always, definitely going to try this 👍
Good stuff - thanks for sharing!
That was awesome just got a new camera for Xmas can’t wait to try this out
So cool heading out to my local turnpike overpass now
Excellent video as per normal Gary and it has inspired me to give it a go - many thanks.
Fantastic video and outstanding pictures Gary. Keep it going.
Takes me back to my first experiments with night time long exposures. But you did it very well 😂 unlike me, maybe the M6 and Lancaster services needs shooting. Loved the black and white version. Belting pal! Hope to see you soon! 👍
Already looking forward to it xx
Beautiful work!
Great location, super images.
Stunning images nice work Gary
Good fun. Thanks for a fun video!
I like a light trail photo Gary. Never thought of b/w. Your b/w blew my socks off mate. Take care ya lump.
This is the most informative and best video on night trails that I have seen. Thanks. Now to go out and try it.
Cheers 👍
