I think they're all really good, but the third and fourth are the best.

I presume you used some HDR processing on these, didn't you?

Wow 2 & 3 are amazing. May I ask what was flying around the tower in #3?! lol

I was going to ask the same thing. I really love the one with the tower. They're all amazing shots!

You really nailed a cool illusion in #3...

Think about it folks. Why would it look like it went around Big Ben?

Very cool stuff! 2 is my fave with 3 coming in a close second.

For number 2, did you just drop your tripod down in the middle of the road there?

Crazy pics, I like #3 best. You nailed the exposure quite well! 1, 2 and 3 seem to be slightly tilted though. Thanks for sharing.

No HDR Mike just long exposure.

A London double decker bus.

Yeah, camera mounted on tripod in front of "Keep Left" bollard.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

Can you enlighten me into settings you used for these shots I want to try the same some time around Belfast

No1 = 6 second exposure, F16, ISO 200
No2 = 4 second exposure, F13, ISO 200
No3 = 30 second exposure, F14, ISO 100
No4 = 30 second exposure, F22, ISO 100

If you are unsure what settings to use I recommend you start on "Shutter Priority" and then start at 1 second exposure.
Then experiment by increasing the time of the exposure, as the outcome you require all depends on the speed and volume of traffic.
Keep to low ISO settings to reduce noise.
You will need at sturdy tripod and a remote release to eliminate camera shake.

Good luck and enjoy!

Blimey, I would have put money on at least the first two being HDR!

Nice job with the exposures then!

Mike

#2 & #3 just rawk! Nice work.

Great photos, especially the third - had to double take that one!

Check out the UK South East thread - could be an upcoming meet soon perhaps in London or along a Southern coast somewhere

The blue sky in dusk looks very similar to what I saw a few months ago:
