The only way to shoot any structure distortion-free is to keep the camera parallel to the ground. For that, you need a vantage that brings you up midway to the height of the building.

Crowds clutter a frame. Not always, but often. When we shoot, our challenge is to keep the crowds out of the frame or ensure we balance the frame despite the crowds.

While many photographers may propagate the use of Half ND filter, I don’t use it as the horizon line is never straight, but is jagged. Also, it is preferable the horizon line is closer to the one-third level rather than at the exact middle of the frame. - Shooting Flowing Water - At Dawn, Dusk, and Day - Travelure ©

Given the traffic speed, the cars took about 13 seconds to give me seamless light trails. So, I took the final shot at those settings and cropped it square.
