How to photograph light trails - EASY TUTORIAL!

- In this video, I explain how to photograph light trails. A beginner tutorial!
If you fancy taking pictures like the one in this video's thumbnail, then this video is perfect for you! I guarantee this kind of photography is way easier than you probably imagine. All you need is a half-decent camera and a sturdy tripod. Couple that with a good location, you're almost done!
This type of photography is perfect for wire-wool photography and firework photography too! It's typical of long exposure photography at night.
Watch the video and if you've got any questions please ask in the comments section.
Cheers
Gary

I've never seen you look or sound more enthusiastic. This style is so underrated, you should do more like this. Fantastic images Gary
Hi Gary, thank you for showing this tutorial I’ve long wondered how to create fantastic quality images like these containing light trails. You make things look so easy! Keep em coming - stunning images as always.
Absolutely stunning! Thanks for the great instructions!
Another great vid never realised light trails was that simple, will definitely be giving this a go . Great images as per usual . Look forward to the next video great job mate.
Brilliant and interesting to watch Gary, those images were just awsome and thanks for sharing with us
Thanks Gary. Loved the Black and White! Your enthusiasm on your videos is contagious. I find I have to go and shoot photos after I've watched them. You make it look so easy. Thanks 😊
Cracking images Gary I just love the star burst from the street lights etc , love the light trails I've never tried this , great tutorial cheers 👍👌
Great work and tips Gary. Definitely on my list of things to try. Fabulous images.👏👏📸
Your lessons are always so awesome!
Really enjoyed watching that Gary, what a fantastic location. I've been looking for a good vantage point to have a go at this. Fantastic images, the black and white look great 👍
Cracking video Gary, once again you break the technical aspects of photography down to a level that can be understood by the masses. Great dedication by the way too, that was a late night, we appreciate it.
Another excellent video. Thanks for the tips. Lateness (in the summer months) seems to be the key. I’ve had a crack at this myself but my location was unimaginative. I love the way you made use of that S bend. Thank you 🙏
Very timely video Gary. I drove past there a couple of weeks ago and remembered your previous video and was going to go back and re watch as I'm thinking of having a go as I've not done any light trails for a while. Great video and great images.
Great, Once again you rang the inspirational Bell Gary, must give this a try.
Very inspiring video Gary! I’ve done some of this before but is has been much too long. You have inspired me to make plans to do it again soon!
Great Vlog, and images Gary. Been meaning to do this for ages , Thanks for sharing
Awesome. All your tutorials are well presented with full details. Thanks Gary.
Thanks Gary , really interesting as always, definitely going to try this 👍
Another top quality video my friend !! Great explanation as always .. loved the last colour image 👏👏
I really enjoyed this one, you seemed very enthusiastic too. Keep them coming 👍
Great video Gary.
Fantastic images as usual.
I also liked the B & W one which was unexpected to see.
Just brilliant images,the S bend and Power station really make it. I've only ever tried this once but not a huge success, will be out looking for a suitable location now. Thanks for the tips Gary.
G'day Gary. Thanks for this Gary. Really nice images and plenty of inspiration here. Stay safe mate.
Never been that interested until now, going to give this a go later in the year. Good vlog and photos very enjoyable.
Stunning Gary, just stunning.
Thanks for this Gary! I love light trails but haven't really done anything since lockdown, so needed inspiration for a new shoot to get me out again. Now I'm studying the maps of my local area looking for a potential location with a nice bend and some background to shoot!
As always Gary great tutorial, thanks mate👍
This was awesome mr Gough, thank you very much. I congratulate you on your dedication to photography.
Gary another great video. Nice ideas to get started with yourself. And indeed, don't just think about your own safety and your expensive equipment. I'm already looking forward to the next video. Keep going.
Thanks Gary. I have followed you on your long exposure photography videos and have enjoyed this light trails video also. Like that you keep thing SIMPLE. Have taken your advice and came away with good results. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic video Gary!! Thanks for sharing!!
Your passion for photography really shows, it is very infectious! Very enjoyable watch, please do more!! 😄😄
Really like the last photo the best, the colour version
You can tell that you really enjoyed shooting these photos they are all very good. Thank you and look forward to your next adventure .
Fantastic video and outstanding pictures Gary. Keep it going.
Absolutely fantastic love them 👍
Excellent video as per normal Gary and it has inspired me to give it a go - many thanks.
Such a cool photo shoot to do...Got to try this !! Living near the sea I realised you can do similar photographing over the sea to the lights of a town...light trail look like lines across the bay! Thanks for your vids Gary...so helpful...so inspirational...Ta. Spike.
I really loved the video, but above all the passion with which you transmit your knowledge. You have a new subscriber. Thank you, man.
I quite like the lit up building.... Fantastic video... Thank Gary
Light trails are fun to do. You made it easy to understand. My fave image was the 2nd from last (just before the mono version).
Stunning pictures. What I like most about your videos is that you really explain everything step by step. 😎🙏🙏🙏🙏📷
Stunning images nice work Gary
Oh wow, I love the double layer of lights you get from the lorries. B&W is awesome
They are just stunning 👏 📸 👍 photos
Stunning mate…. Gonna go out and try this tomorrow night. I have a similar one from tower bridge in London but love the s curve on this…. Have to go and location scout locally I think!! Cheers Jase
Love the dedication
Great shots Gary. I must have driven under that bridge hundreds of times fetching my lad to and from Leeds uni. Never thought of taking any pictures there though. I've always been fascinated by the cooling towers at FB, a sight gradually disappearing from our industrial landscapes. I've been thinking of doing some industrial/blue hour shots so this had definitely brought some added inspiration. Cracking video.
I loved seeing the trails turn to a black and white. I loved the explanation.
Brilliant video. I went to that bridge tonight and got some fantastic shots. Many thanks, Gary.
The monochrome works for me. Thanks for sharing. Great fun.
Thanks for the tips Gary, gave it a go for the first time at the weekend over the M4, just a straight section unfortunately, but caught a breakdown truck lights which made the shot for me.
nailed it!!! Thanks as ever for anther cracking video
Your enthusiasm is contagious!
Great video. I used to love light trail photgraphy haven had chance for a long while.
I dd some lightr trails on the Grand Canal, Vencie. You get the added randon up and down & rocking and rolling.
Thanks Gary , for a humble beginner like me this is so imformative . Great Vid. Crazy how good the b&w looks ..........
Great long exposures. The one before the B&W was the best.
Stunning results. You’ve really wet my appetite and given me food for thought. Love this Chanel, thank you.
simply perfect. Enjoyed it and will try it soon
Thank you for making this useful video 📸 it helps a lot! Keep on shining God Bless you all 😇🤝💞
Tanks for this video and the explanation. Helped me a lot! I’m gonna try it soon .
What a fantastic tutorial, thank you very much. You're way of explaining and making it even more enjoyable. Again, thank you for sharing most valuable tips.
Super nice. I guess that long exposures make everything looking 100 times better. You would never think that the highway can be so nice. As for being safe at night - a fellow photographer was attacked in Glasgow a few weeks ago and all his gear was stolen. It's a real shame. So you need to be careful.
Very true!
Beautiful pictures Gary as usual. 💐
Terrific video-you are a wonderful teacher!!!
Super video Gary. I will try that for sure.
Thx Gary! Gonna give this a go.
Gary, great images, as usual. I was not expecting a B&W image to be displayed, and it certainly had a wow factor all its own!
Cheers David 👍👍
Great shots as usual Gary and the B&W looks fabulous as well 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks 👍
Great shots Gary. 👍🏻📸
Your reminding me more & more of the great Mike Brown - myth busting with a straight foreward approach - showing how to do things instead of blathering on. He was a master at it and so are you Gary. Here on Anglesey we cant get that kind of elevation, but doing the Suspension Bridge traffic gives some great results. Great vid and images Gary - big thumbs up.
Truly stunning!
Great results Gary with a great tutor explaining everything thanks
Cheers David 👍👍
Very nice indeed! Thank you.
Fantastic images Gary. Those star burst looked terrific. This is something I keep meaning to try, think I'm suitably inspired now mate 😊😊
It's a lot of fun Paul. You can check my images out tomorrow if you wish, I posting the download links. Cheers 👍👍
I’m going out to try light trail photography and have found this video useful, some great photos and I even liked the black and white version.
Good stuff - thanks for sharing!
Wonderful, Gary 👌 I really enjoy light trail photography and you can get really creative with it.
Many thanks 👍👍
Brilliant video gary,shall get out and explore areas locally
Thanks..Your excitement is infectious.:)
Awesome sir! You are my kind of guy, making it fun and easy. I'm just beginning to learn but nighttime photography is going to be my focus, no pun intended 😀. Got a Canon Rebel T7 and a good tripod.
Brilliant 👍..... Loved doing this, you've re-inspired me to get out again, many thanks 👍♥️✌️
Cheers Josh 👍👍
Great video and images, makes a nice change from the usual landscape photography 📷👍
Thanks 👍 Cheers Mike
Good fun. Thanks for a fun video!
Great shots there. I liked the white building lit up on the shorter exposures, does blow up in the longer though
That was awesome just got a new camera for Xmas can’t wait to try this out
Thank you Gary. Looking forward to see more tutorials from you. John From Malta
Just returned from a trail session at a War Memorial in Airdrie Scotland. Thank you for the tips I've put them to good use my friend. Happy festive season to you and loved ones and all good fortune for 2023.
I like a light trail photo Gary. Never thought of b/w. Your b/w blew my socks off mate. Take care ya lump.
done this many times but enjoy a refreshing ! wish there were cooling towers & power stations being used in my area . using the light trails as leading lines to an industrial complex is slammin !
Looks fantastic 😁 I'm going to try this just getting into long exposure not tried this yet but will do this week thanks for tips
Enjoyed that, and very helpful. Thanks.
Welcome to my neck of the woods brilliant images took some myself from that very spot ferrybridge was working then 👍
