Going to try some light trails

I think I've located the perfect place for doing some light trails. There a lane that goes up over the hill and crosses the A90 (Perth to Edinburgh) motorway. Anyway - I was going to go last night but it was wet and wild but so far today it's nice and clear. Not sure how they'll turn out as I've got all that dust on my sensor plus being a Sunday, there might not be any cars LOL.

Re: Going to try some light trails

I did go out for a tootle in the car and managed a few piccy's although I've not looked at them yet. Probably covered in dust marks as a few were longer exposures. I thought we were going to get a nice sunset as it was a nice clear sky with fluffy clouds but then it all went horribly wrong.
