Here's a shot that didn't quite go to plan. I was standing on an overpass to a large road that has three lanes either side and is overlooked by Edinburgh Castle. Usually the traffic on this road is quite heavy and would have made a cool light trail shot. I was there for a good half hour taking shots to try and get the light trails filling up the road like I wanted. But unfortunately as you can see here it didn't quite work out. 

The image itself is fine, well exposed and in focus, but I just didn't get what I was aiming for. The mistake I made that I later realised? I did this shot in summer, when it gets dark really late.. after 11pm. By that time (and I really should have realised this sooner) the traffic is so light on the street you tend to get just a few cars passing every few minutes which is not enough. I need to re-shoot this at a later time in the year when its dark much earlier and the traffic is heavier.
