OUR APPRENTICE says…

For our next shot, Joe took me to Dublin’s General Post Office building, as 2016 is the centenary year of the Easter Uprising, and the GPO is the iconic symbol of this. To start with I was shooting from eye-level, but the car trails didn’t seem that impressive. Joe suggested I move the camera down lower to get the trails shooting through the whole frame. I noticed a bus approaching, so I waited for it to reach the edge of the frame before releasing the shutter. It filled the frame from left to right and gave me larger, more complex trails than the cars. The way the trails lined up with the structure of the building was the icing on the cake – the lights look like they’re part of the environment.
