Fair bit of messing around in The Gimp to add texture to this shot. The sky, being polluted and overcast, was entirely slate grey so I changed that. Did some burn and dodge on the road and traffic to help it stand out. Added some noise. Taken from a conveniently handy pedestrian overpass using a tripod and nd 8 stop filter and polarizer for one extra stop. Then f22 just to get things really slow and get decent traffic blur to express the movement. Can't imagine this ending up on too many dt's but it captures for me one of the defining qualities of Bangkok, the astonishing traffic. This road is not a main road and it's not at a busy time.

Enjoy.

Mikel.

Wild effects in the urban landscape. Interesting contrasts of the speeding traffic and busy populated road.

Well done,Mikel. Personally, I'd like grain, but much finer, and the power poles corrected. Mostly because they're so obvious against the stark sky. The lights are tilted in the opposite direction but it's of no real consequence with all the other neat motion and detail.

I like it, Mikel! Really eye catching. I like how you kinda pushed the normal limits on the post work.
