That's a pretty great shot, I like the gold sky against the icy road. Where is everyone though?

i am officially intrigued. this cant be socal, can it? snow? no traffic? something isnt adding up.....and i want to hear the story.

I shot this the a few days ago in Irvine. I used a 10 stop nd filter and a cp filter stacked so I could do a really long exposure so the cars wouldn't show up on the freeway. It is five exposures HDR and I intentionally went way over the top on the processing to give it a dark feel.

Glad you like it :)

Thanks for the explanation.

Great shot...I love it!:D

Thats brilliant.

Ooh, I need to go do something like this. Except I don't have a 10-stop ND filter.

I love it.

Great idea and realization.

That is seriously cool. I was about to suggest that you spent hours cloning out all the cars on the road. Nice work.

That's a really great shot. I work right off of that Jamboree exit in the Union Bank building. If you don't mind me asking, where did you take the shot from?

[Cyclop]

Pretty neat!

[ckort]

Wow, awesome shot. You put a lot into this, nice work!

I've been wanting to shoot the sunset from that location for the longest time! Very cool.

I saw the sun setting through that new highrise building in the middle when it was still open construction and just beams, but I never bothered.

Is this shot from the Culver St. bridge?

Edit, I just drove through there, it's the Harvard Ave. bridge right?

[shaner123]

fantastic shot

[stuman16]

Thanks again :)

This was shot from the Harvard overpass looking north.

That is really crazy looking! considering the 405 NEVER looks anything near that anytime of the day. It looks like an extermination of humans took place :)
