I Spent 6 Months Taking Long Exposure Pictures Of Trams To Make Them Look As If They Came From Another World (26 Pics)

My name is Tim and l live in the city of Sheffield in England. I’m a photography enthusiast with art and design training from Leeds College of Art and Design.

I spent six months going out at night and taking these long-exposure photographs of trams. I chose trams as a subject because of their potential to create beautiful long-exposure light trails. As a long-time fan of science fiction films, I thought these images resembled spaceships travelling at warp speed or those from Close Encounters skimming above roads. It made me want to create a series of images looking as if spaceships were flying though my city center.
