    Great time lapse… the ideas and scope of photography is endless!

    It reminds me of an image at “http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=10419&pq-locale=en_US&_requestid=1996” in their “picture of the day segment” dated March 2nd 2007… it is worth a look.

    Superb capture!. What a visual experience. I’m mesmerized by this…This is one long exposure worth longing for. Great work! Perfect set-up and composition. Love the four sparkle lights on top of eachother in the background.

    Unreal shot, gorgeous colours. I’m with Paul on the sparkling signals, and their reflection on the train carriage.

    This makes me want to experiment with hallucinogenic substances (I won’t). I’m glad there are people around who can conceive these visual treats. Yeah, the bands of reflected light are what do it for me, too.
