Well today, I managed to do it, I finally got my backside out of the house, I visited the location in the picture above that I took earlier, it is Kilwinning Abbey in North Ayrshire on the west coast of Scotland. It has a fantastic history attached to it and if ever you happen to be in that area, I would recommend a visit.

That is a beautiful picture

One of the things I get funny looks for is doing photography at night time. However, I like the fact that you see places in different ways when under the light of night and there is usually no one there but me. I hope you like these.
They are stunning, I am quite envious! The clarity is amazing! I really want to do some night-time shots but not entirely sure where to go to do them around where I live.
I got a shot of some snowdrops today, I was so happy-.gif ")")
You are so lucky in the location where you live in SE London, I wish I was down there, I can think of loads of places I would go for a shoot, the only problem I can forsee is having enough battery power to deal with shooting in around 6 - 8 hours of darkness. Each shot requires a long exposure usually around 15 - 30 seconds and sometimes more. I really wish I was there Rose, I would happily give you some help. Start local to you, are there any interesting buildings, churches or bridges that are lit up? Try shooting in shopping centres or capture light trails of traffic like the shots I have posted below.Originally Posted by rose

You should post some of your photos here and us all enjoy them with you.
Can I say a huge thanks to Suzi and yourself for the lovely compliments.
It's more a safety issue. I have to be careful when I am out during the day with my camera, let alone at night.
I haven't played with the exposure settings on my camera yet. I was given a book or two for Christmas about digital photography that I need to read.
My best photos are posted here: http://cee-fashion.co.uk/photography/photography.html
As you can see I am a nature fan and I have three (mostly) obliging cats.
Great pics!
