you must use:

1. a tripod.
2. automatic shotter.
3. 8-10-15 or 30 seconds exposure.
4. Less ISO than you could 50-100-200.

and patient and shot, shot and shot.

Looks good to me.But taking all lights away would leave ,,,,,,,,nothing ,right!! Or do you mean street lights.In which case I think you could be right.
Looks like the M25 from Nags Head lane bridge.
Next time ,have a full charge.!!!
Dont forget,larger aperture =greater bokeh.:)

Can't say I'm prone to faveing such pics, but this is awesome, love it. I am a big fan of negative space and you've used that to wonderful effect here, also the bend in the road and the lights... marvellous!

I like this, even with the road lights. Makes it appear almost tail-like. I've been thinking of doing a photo like this sometime, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to do it. Not yet, anyway.

Very beautiful light trails. Burning the road lights actually created some interesting effect there guiding the eyes and complement the curves.

Mr Burpy says:

its all about the random photo nights hun haha :D JD is right, its M25 J28 Nags Head Lane bridge :) a delightful corner of brentwood.. luckily we avoided the police coming along and banning us from taking shots tho ay bab haha :D
i get was thinking a crop to take some of the top half down a bit and focus on the road a bit more, but then the comment about negative space made me think.. an its to do with chaos and I can see some pretty chaotic meaning in there, more so with the blackness of the night against the madness of the road .. good stuff hun :D gotta love the nightshots x
