Blurry car light trails can look great but you need a good location to get an interesting composition.
Taken at 'magic hour' when the sky is deep blue just before going black, this was shot from a mini tripod on about five seconds exposure. The ghostly bus image was achieved by firing a flash at minus two stops at the start of the exposure.
This image was taken specifically for our downloadable photography course, Digital Photography Exposed.

I have seen one very similar to this in a magazine I think. However, this image beats it hands down. Absolutely stunning shot. I keep coming back to look at this image, I HAVE got to have a go at this as I think it is awesome. Getting an award as my wife has just reminded me I can.
