The Speed of Light

I've wanted to take some photographs of moving traffic and the light trails they create for some time, so I decided to go on a little photo adventure. I took this photograph from an elevated footbridge of cars travelling towards and away from me round a bend on a bypass. The hardest thing about this photo was timing the shot to capture the right amount of headlights and tail lights during the exposure and hoping the cars came along in that time!
