 The classic shot of Lincoln Cathedral by night. Whilst I was taking this there were four other photographers there with me, in fact I would think there are tripod feet holes on the foot bridge which crosses this main road.

PS work:

Selective brightness to compensate for the main tower lights not being as bright as the main building.

Saturation boost to the colours

Cloned out a street lamp which distracted the eye on the right midground

Non PS adjustments:

Used a Cokin Grad grey to the bottom half of the lens to lower the overall brightness of the car lights and to extend the exposure time.

A lovely concept carried out beautifully. The red and white leading lines at the bottom draw the attention effortlessly to the subject at the top. The tones are great. Good job!

Great use of the time lapse, the night shot works very well here.

haha I like the one guy that drove off the road on the right heading toward the camera -- what's up with that?

Love the way the light trails lead the eye up to the Cathedral, and the black sky.

Good Luck
