The Trails light art
Light trails are one of the best ways to add a wow factor to your urban night photography. Traffic and car light trails show the frenetic rhythm of life in large cities. And improve the aesthetic of your cityscapes.
You can freeze moving lights with a fast enough shutter speed. Or you can record them as luminous trails with long enough shutter speeds.
To illustrate the concept, I borrowed my son’s motorised train and built a short track on a table. The train has front lights that go on when it is moving.
The image below shows the result of a 15 seconds long exposure.

How to Photograph Light Trails
Light trails photography is not demanding in terms of photographic gear. Any camera will do the job. The location and the time of the day are more important than the camera.
Camera Settings
The best camera settings for light trails photography are:
- Shoot in RAW;
- Choose the lowest ISO values;
- Set your aperture to the sweet spot of your lens, in the f/4 to f/11 range;
- Use a shutter speed of about 10-30 seconds.
Test your settings and check whether you get trails of a decent length. Also check that you have not clipped the highlights to pure white.
