City - The A1 heading South State - NORTH YORKSHIRE Country - United Kingdom
About
On my way back from the dales I called into Ripon for some fish and chips but couldnt' find somewhere to eat them so I pulled over to the first layby on the A1 heading South.
The sky was pretty much black except for looking west where there was a cresent moon.
I took about 5 shots of that in all compositions I thought of then one big truck left a trail on the shot - buig red line.
I decided that a trail shot would be a good experiment - only ever done them from bridges before (for safety of course) but what the hell.
This is the result.
In honour of Steve Bowden I've put it up unscathed and unaltered :-)
He also lives pretty close to here as well.
The foreground grass was illuminated by cars as they went past.
Not sure what the signs in the distance say though...
You forget how detatched from the world you get looking through a camera - especially when you're about 5 feet form HGV's going at 60mph on the A1!!
I took a few then moved in front of the car and onto the verge... I think I got away with it, as Basil Fawlty once said.
You got the Tripod bug too - I think Dean's wanting to buy my ball head but it's not for sale just yet - got to give the joysick a chance yet. I hate it when you are on a boot sale and you find the perfect thing, but one part's missing.... well annoying!
Dav and I were thinking what comment to leave at your Dinosaur.... it just popped into my head. Sure you look far more ferrociaous after 14 hours of grueling work!
The dedication had to be for you - a few miles form Knaresborough AND not edited!!
See on your return - reckon a fortnight, or is it 3 weeks?
The signs in the distance say "Beware Ade taking photographs" ;-)
This is way cool, I love the lights - I must try this and see how they turn out. Nearly bought a heavier tripod at the booty last Sunday but it was missing an essential bit on the top ... the screwy part lol
Loved your comment on the dinosaur, yes just off for another 13hour jobby in an hour - would rather be meeting up and taking some more shots. When I get back, you can count on it :-)
Thankyo again Ade for the lovely dedication, I just hope I get back fairly unscathed in the morning lol
