Weekly Photo Challenge: Renewal 2
I just posted a photo for the Weekly Photo Challenge theme ‘renewal’ earlier tonight, but in the spirit of the challenge I went and ‘renewed myself’ by taking some fresh shots. I’ve taken multiple light trail shots of the train earlier, but this time I tried out a new, elevated angle.
What images does Renewal conjure for you? Get creative. Think beyond the usual images (a sunrise, a birth). - Cheri Lucas, WordPress
Here’s two of them, fresh out of the camera:

Light-trails from train photographing in low-light, with the cityscape of a rainy Oslo in the background.

They’re both great, but the first shot is excellent – really like the ghostliness of the trails in that one. the shot looks spooked.

Thanks Richard. The first one is also my favorite. The light and the format is better.

I agree with Richard and you – like the first most too, but both great shots – love these lightlines, very well captured…

First one is definitely best. The format is more suitable & the light is better.

Glad you like them. Thanks!

Fucking fantastic- sell the second? Really big with lots of urethane on the canvas- awesome! Renewal=movement

Urethane on the canvas is a great idea, it would make it shine.

I like your “renewed myself”…good one.
Love your images and it seems to have a chilly look to it…is/was it cold out?
Anyway, I love your entries.

Thanks Sunshine. I can’t remember if it was cold or not that day, but it probably was a bit chilly.

I really enjoy how the light trails convey a feeling of speed and the busy-ness of the city.

Thanks SMC. I hadn’t thought of it before, but yes, you’re right: it does kind of capture a tiny glimpse of all the stress & the running that’s going on in the city.
