Tower Bridge Approach Trying To Cross

This shot was taken on the northern approach to Tower Bridge next to the Tower of London. Taken last year which I had not before got round to processing. Taken from a reasonably wide central reservation..The land based support for Tower Bridge is the building in the middle. Shutter speed was 15 seconds. I choose a shot for the light trails and then added in another with the gents waiting to cross and then combined the 2 images using layers in Photoshop.

 

The picture was taken with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle zoom at 15mm. No HDR this time and I started by adjusting exposure in Raw in Capture One including Dynamic range editing, Clarity and colours. Next pasted in the 2 men waiting to cross and merged with a layer mask, Adjustments with Hue Saturation adjustment layers to bring up reds and bring down saturation on the road using layer masks to apply to the parts I wanted. Topaz Clarity to bring up detail.
