Not to burst your bubble here Mikey (and I do love those long exposures - there's something very cool about the light streams), I had a go myself a couple of years ago when I was living in Chester. I don't know about the photographic merit, but I did manage to capture a fire engine going past...

They can work quite well at street level, too:

Finally, I did grab some shots of fireworks over Lancaster last night (inspired, of course, by Mikey :thumbup: )

Great stuff mate and you haven't burst my bubble.lol

It's great to see others work. I was gutted though, I literally put my camera in my bag the other night and fire engine and an ambulance went by. Missed it. Ha

When I get my arse into gear I'll see if I can find any good ones from my recent trip to India.

That would be good. Look forward to seeing them.

_56644739_56644221.jpgRhein II is one of an edition of six works

An image of the Rhine by German artist Andreas Gursky has fetched $4.3m (£2.7m) at Christie's New York, setting an auction record for a photograph.

Glass-mounted panoramic colour print Rhein II, created in 1999, is one of an edition of six works.

Others hang at New York's Museum of Modern Art and London's Tate Modern.

It beat the previous record of $3.9m (£2.5m) achieved by an untitled 1981 colour print by Cindy Sherman, who is the subject of all her own works.

Christie'sGursky's print had a pre-sale estimate of $2.5m-$3.5m (£1.6m-£2.2m).

Rhein II is the largest of the six photographs, which are produced in various sizes.

As well as in New York and London, other photographs in the edition are housed in Munich's Pinakothek der Moderne and Glenstone art museum in the US.

Gursky has spoken of "a particular place with a view over the Rhine which has somehow always fascinated me, but it didn't suffice for a picture as it basically constituted only part of a picture".

He said he "carried this idea for a picture around with me for a year-and-a-half".

"In the end I decided to digitalise the pictures and leave out the elements that bothered me," he added.

Christie's said the viewer was "not invited to consider a specific place along the river, but rather an almost 'platonic' ideal of the body of water as it navigates the landscape".

I'm not one to mock or belittle someone's artistic vision, what they have created or what they get from it, but WTF is that photo about?!!! :blink:

It's nicely composed, the layers of grey and green are nice, but... Well, he could've waited for a sunny day if he had waited a year and a half to come up with the idea!
