Another bus trails shot this time taken on The Strand not far before it comes into Trafalgar Square. One of the great advantages of London for City Light Trails is the brilliant red of the buses. Only 10 minutes at this particular location taking multiple images to get one I liked which had good movement both sides. It was soon after 5.00 so a lot of commuters were crossing the road, sometimes walking down the central reservation before getting a gap in the traffic, hence the ghost in the middle. I decided I liked him in the image so did not clone him out.

The pictures were taken with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle zoom at 10mm. Taken with a tripod. I processed the image in RAW for recovery of highlights and clarity. I took another of the shots with no movement, pasted it in with a layer mask to exclude it. Then a brush was used to bring it back in only for a small area of road on the left to tidy up some of the light trail. A clone brush were used to tidy up some of the highlights in the distance. The picture was given more punch using a clarity effect using unsharp mask with settings of 37 amount and 37 radius.
