I can see why. (8+)
Try experimenting with the height of the camera for this kind of shot. Sometimes it can look really cool (not that this one doesn't) if the light trail is above the point of view.
Still, good shot man. Keep it up.

Thanks, I didn't have my tripod with me after work, so I balanced the camera on the push button for the pedestrian crossing lights. I really want to head to a motorway bridge one night to get a photo like this. It's just getting there that's the issue. I'm also wondering how it would look from more at a ground level.

Mark, I'm loving your fight series. Tres cool.

Is there a purpose to it beyond the photography?

Yes. The flickr set explains it but to paraphrase here, the two guys involved are preparing for a stunt fight sequence.
One of the guys is a black belt in TKD as well as currently training in Judo and the other dude is a well respected parkour practitioner.

Well please pass on my impressedness to both of them and yourself :)

The photography makes it look interesting and their fitness, posture and techniques are beautiful.

I've got some video footage somewhere that I took on the iPhone of them each picking up the other and dropping them on a table.
The idea is to make their own sugarglass coffee table and throw someone on to that. (8+)

I'll pass on your encouraging words.

As there's been some interest, I've put the video clips up on Flickr so anyone can see them (The Facebook versions are only available to my friends).
Clip 1
Clip 2
These were just very preliminary tests, so there's nothing about these that are polished.
Training is ongoing.

Look pretty well co-ordinated from where I'm sitting. Although a little more speed might improve things, but I'm sure that's part of the polish to come. Very nice.
