Hi Greg: Another wonderful video. I love long exposure photography. Thanks for the tip of focusing on break-lights. Love the images involving the buses. Cheers, Keith
Great images again Greg. Was talking to my Hamburg colleagues today that you are giving me fernweh with all these places you shoot in Hamburg, most I have visited when working from our HH office. Once lockdown is over cross the street into the BrewDog bar in the building you shot, but maybe not at 6AM
I haven't taken any light trail shots since the 70s Greg. I used to go out night after night and enjoyed it. After this vlog i'm going to be at it again. cheers man.
My son whose getting into photography wants to give this a try. It’s something I haven’t done before either so should but fun giving it a go when we’re allowed to soon. Your photography blogs are keeping me sane. Love seeing Hamburg. Plus was someone being murdered by a pack of wolves in the background at the end😆
OK. That's it! I'll finally take my camera, ND filter and tripod out and do some serious light trail photography experimentation this weekend. Thanks for the tips and the push. :)
Catching up during my lunch break 😁 and another great vlog. Done a few light trails but always tried to get high to look down, gonna be trying getting low on the pavement 👍
Oh.. I've taken my car to the Czech Republic (Prague) and back through France, Belgium, Germany and into Czech Republic... and I've driven in ther USA and Canary Islands as well.. Yes it can be very confusing at first... The main problem is when you get back home and start driving normally and the left.. I await the next vid with glee :-)
Driving on the left came into legislation in Britain in 1835, followed by other countries which were in the British Empire - India, Australia, New Zealand and some African countries. Its origins are related to having the sword hand free when riding horseback (most riders being right handed), so they would pass each other on the left.
@@RussWeymouthPhotography Indeed.. and in Europe I know Ireland, Malta, Channel Islands, Isle of Man also drive on the left. Wikipedia has more info on the subject... interesting
they tried to change it just after the war apparently. but the system of cars moving over onto the right on day one and buses and lorries on day 2 caused utter mayhem...
Some great tips Greg and images, who dont like a bit of light trails , i have in the past also gone the opposite to your low tip , shoot from much higher up looking down on a scene , and with a nice winding road through the scene can also look really nice and as you are not looking straight on at the lights the headlights are not an issue.
Agreed. I thought about making this point but honestly I haven't shot many long'ish' light trail images of like mountain road passes under the milky way if you know what I mean. I've had a couple goes at long highway night shots but not the ideal as you mention. You're point makes perfect sense though. Cheers Lee!
Good Video! On the other side of "Tanzende Türme" you can get a nice light trail shot created by the U-Bahn coming out of the Tunnel and driving towards Landungsbrücken. So its gonna be Landungsbrücken in the background and light trails if foreground.
4:30 Working level - Boss, especially with gears at street ; vlogging and photographing at same time can be tedious, but pro teaches pro level stuffs and tips. Another great video Greg !! Cheers from Nepal.
One suggestion I have is to try and use higher F stop settings, around f11 or higher, so any bright points of light (i.e. street lights) will have a star burst.
Good tips and very nice photos. I would add tip to use remote shutter release (can be cable or wireless or with Canon there is an app for your phone). Also using bulb mode can be good fun to play around all you need is to check in advance what is the minimum and maximum exposure time to get images roughly properly exposed. And Greg, thanks for the idea, I think I may play around with light trails, I used to love it but somehow I forgot how much fun it can be.
Could you maybe type the settings into the photos? I would like to learn what settings to use in what situations and a hint is always a big helper🤙🏻 Tschüss😁
Thank you Greg! I should go out more often at night to take some photos and get some light trails! Love the effect ! But now we have curfew from 8pm to 5am thank you Covid 😠
Hi Greg, great video. I think it's great and very motivating how you approach the motifs. Have you ever photographed the Alten Elbtunnel at the St. Pauly Landungsbrücken? Maybe that would be something for your V-log?
Hi Patrick, thanks for the great comment mate. I have cycled through the tunnel but didn't stop to shoot it. Definitely would be a great Vlog topic. Thanks for the idea!
If you don't have enough traffic to get enough light trails in one exposure, it is also quite easy to merge several light trail exposures in Photoshop.
Cracking images Greg, glad this popped up, spent a day on an image edit only to scrap it as I totally screwed up fixing a part of the image, so it was good to take a break and watch some YT from your good self
Those looked amazing! I've always wanted to know how people do light trail photography because I've always enjoyed the photos of them. I'm glad it is rather simple by just doing some long exposure photography with the right conditions and setup.
The photo was ok, but I just can’t stand tilting, shift lens or just keep it straight and crop up but that’s just me, I got my own photo Sheldon type issues😂however I really liked the composition of the ending table chat, that was really looking good 👍🏻
Great Video Greg....i just happen to be cruzin YT and saw your video. Cool photos...Im curious you mentioned ND filters...would it be possible to lower your exposure level if you dont have any ND filters and get the same effect. Maybe you mentioned it and i just missed it, but what is your camera gear for those types of photos?..

Sorry about the kinda hectic PTC's beside that cross walk. All turned out well in the end though. Tomorrow's daily drops at 20:00 CET 👍
Thanks Greg. Enjoy the warm coffee. Get ready for sleepless nights and more coffee!
Thank you buses for making Greg's photos awesome! 😁
Hi Greg: Another wonderful video. I love long exposure photography. Thanks for the tip of focusing on break-lights. Love the images involving the buses. Cheers, Keith
Neat tip, hadn't thought about shooting low for light trails.
The gap between the bus's top and bottom lights was perfect for seeing through to the building. It added so much👍👍👍 - Elaine
Quality content every day. I am loving the daily vlog 👍
Another quality production !! Knocking them out !! Great tips.. great video
Another great video. I've never actually done any light trail long exposure images with vehicles so I appreciated the tips on how to do it.
Great tips Greg, I need to put these into practice now. Thank you.
Learned some great tips from this. Going to have a go at capturing light trails. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Always learning... day I don’t time to ask why.
Another cool bit of architecture
Great video and great advice on getting low to capture passing vehicles 👌👍
Thanks 👍

Nice! What a comment. I thought BrewDog is from Berlin?
@@gregsnell I believe they have a brewery in Berlin but they are originally from Scotland
Excellent! I've never tried this but now I might!
Hi Greg I am enjoying you daily vlogs. It is a very good idea. Regards Stan from Johannesburg
I need to go try getting lower. What a great idea, thank you.

Just some stray city dogs.
First shot, very dramatic. Good tips, thanks.
Very good tips

Nice one! Makes for an interesting perspective for the viewer.
Extra tip.... When photographing in the UK be on the left hand side of the road for super trails :-)
Wait you drive on the wrong side of the road in the UK? No way. That's crazy.
Oh.. I've taken my car to the Czech Republic (Prague) and back through France, Belgium, Germany and into Czech Republic... and I've driven in ther USA and Canary Islands as well..

Another great episode.
Frank!! Cheers man.
Thanks for the reminder of the simple tips that I sometimes forget when shooting light trails!
Thanks for the tips!! Love the shots!
thanks. Like the idea of getting low. I think I've done this by accident / subconsciously in the past, but never understood the importance of it...
Great Vlog once again. Thanks!
Great Tips Greg. Thanks a lot for that!
One suggestion I have is to try and use higher F stop settings, around f11 or higher, so any bright points of light (i.e. street lights) will have a star burst.
True! Great point.
Great vlog bud... love light trails!! 👍 Cheers Jase
Appreciate the good ideas and tips. Gonna need to go into the city to try it out.
Nice!!
Used these tips tonight! I might need to go back to the spot I was at and try getting even lower though.
Years ago I almost got kill on Paris doing this!!
Great pics !! Inspiring !!
Good tips and very nice photos. I would add tip to use remote shutter release (can be cable or wireless or with Canon there is an app for your phone).

Not a bad idea. Vielen Danke :)
The 2nd was the best.
Thank you Greg!
I should go out more often at night to take some photos and get some light trails! Love the effect !
But now we have curfew from 8pm to 5am thank you Covid 😠
Light trails are not something I'm looking for, but it is always good to try new things, so I will (but with a curfew in France, no way for now)
Very nice Video 🤙
Hi Greg, great video. I think it's great and very motivating how you approach the motifs. Have you ever photographed the Alten Elbtunnel at the St. Pauly Landungsbrücken? Maybe that would be something for your V-log?

Ruta 40!!
Have just been experimenting with light trails so this is a great reminder/help. Excellent content as always Greg.
If you don't have enough traffic to get enough light trails in one exposure, it is also quite easy to merge several light trail exposures in Photoshop.
True. Great point.
I love from India
Great video, great pics 👊, I've done some light trail stuff in the past but not in a while......not too much interesting in my neck of the woods lol 😆
good timing , grandson was just asking about this the other day. I've never tried it but will now. thanks
Cracking images Greg, glad this popped up, spent a day on an image edit only to scrap it as I totally screwed up fixing a part of the image, so it was good to take a break and watch some YT from your good self

Great video Greg, thanks.
I have not done light trails, do you use around F8.
Nice Video. One Question: Which exposure time have you used?
Thanks.
P.S. The street where the buses are driving through is the Reeperbahn!
I have a zero tips I actually learned something new. Now I'll have to see how low I can go Ha! Excellent vid Greg!
Good luck with it Pablito and have fun brother!
@@gregsnell I will! Thanks Greg
Greg, is a viewfinder cover necessary for this type of photography? Thanks!
No.
Great Video Greg....i just happen to be cruzin YT and saw your video. Cool photos...Im curious you mentioned ND filters...would it be possible to lower your exposure level if you dont have any ND filters and get the same effect. Maybe you mentioned it and i just missed it, but what is your camera gear for those types of photos?..
I have problem to get focus and miss lots of shootings. Any tips?
Manual focus. Set a point, maybe infinity and stick to it.
Why is there a clicking on the soundtrack during your pieces to camera, was it something to do with the pedestrian crossing?
Yup. Exactly. Pretty annoying but it is what it is.
Getting low not easy if like me you've arthritic problems and your screen doesn't articulate 😱
