    :gnthb: Nice one Woo.. They are so clear..! It is great you have something close to your doorstep to photograph... Have to agree with Lolli the sky is great in the first..! :thmb:
    I really like night shots.. I should try more often I suppose, but no real street lighting in my lane & not allot to see.... :hehe:

    That first one is great WOO, but it had me puzzled for a moment. How did Woo managed to get those two cars to look stationary in a ten second exposure? :scratch:
    I think I've got it sussed!:thmb:

    Here's one from June, taken at about 2.00am local time after a convivial :yho: evening in our favourite greek taverna - I was not at my sharpest as far as regards managing the camera :hehe:
    15 secs @ f5.6, ISO 800

    Well done Woo, good start but be careful ...night photography can be very addictive as I found out a few years back. I've not done much night photography for some time now but I do have a little project to do when the weather is right..probably Autumn.

    Here's a few of my favourite nightime shots.

    Not really Woo...you'd be surprised. Its mostly just getting the right location, 100iso and bulb (as you have already done) then just open and close shutter..job done. Car trail shots are easy, find suitable location and your done, the other two of mine involve water and reflections, but not difficult to do either.

    Keep at it but safety first at night.

    Steve...:)
