How to Shoot Roads in Photography
photoaxe.com — What do you have in mind when taking pictures on a highway? Maybe the road signs. Yes, it ’s a good idea but here I’m not talking about that. Road construction requires the creation of a continuous right-of-way, overcoming geographic obstacles and having grades low enough to permit vehicle or foot travel. That means you will find interesting angles.

Ouch. Mirror anyone? - xcheats, on 10/12/2007, -9/+5http://www.duggmirror.com
(I have no idea if DuggMirror will catch it. Worth a try.)
Looks like Google might have caught it, but it's slow.

What WayWhat do you have in mind when taking pictures on a highway? Maybe the road signs. Yes, it’s a good idea but here I’m not talking about that.
Road construction requires the creation of a continuous right-of-way, overcoming geographic obstacles and having grades low enough to permit vehicle or foot travel. That means you will find interesting sinuous shapes of roads.
Notice that in most of the cases the road should be free of cars and walkers. Two exceptions are noticeable: the pictures depicting intense city traffic and the night roads when a car leaves behind a rail of light.
As for the composition, it’s always a good idea to start the road from a corner of the picture up to the middle or the other corner. In most of the cases it will appear larger in the starting corner and thinner at the end. However, sometimes, when symmetry allows, you can start and end your road line in the middle of the picture.
As I said many times before, following the weather helps a lot: fog or rain give special effects, and, in the case of train rails, sunrise is also creating a mystical atmosphere. - iPointe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Nice examples, but the teaching was pretty vague.
- Falldog, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Or, just go out and find out what you like personally.
- nhassan, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4google cache has it, but i guess its a bit pointless, because the image don't come up.

- VaporBro, on 10/26/2007, -6/+5Next time you take a picture of the road, make sure your pants are not sticking up where your who-ha is. I wanted to see a road, not a boner.

It is, more likely, a pants tent, which was described on Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm where the main character, David, goes to a movie theatre with his wife's friend and the wife's friend notices a bulge in his pants that she is sure is a boner. However, it was a pants tent, which is a non-boner bulge caused by the extra material in the crotch area. - TriggerB, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1That's how pants are...and what were you doing looking at his ***** anyway?
- VaporBro, on 10/26/2007, -6/+4@ Fhionnlaoch
I know. But now everyone knows...so it's cooler then just you and I knowing. Who-Ha!
@ triggerb
Cause I'm hella gay...bitch. - nitemarerevenge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think the pants sticking up makes the picture more interesting. It creates a deeper sense of leading lines... look, its pointing!
- joshafina, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Reminds me of "Mind your Manners, with Billy Quan".
Sorry, I had to say it. Go ahead and digg me down.

- VaporBro, on 10/26/2007, -2/+1It's funny. My previous You Fail comment was up 5 diggs or so...then their server came back on and Diggmirror caught it. So now I say...
You did fail. But now thanks to the great invention of TIME you are not failing. Go figure.
