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.

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

    Anyway, I love your entries. :)

  38. 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.
