Nice shooting.
Good luck with the new gear and here's to many more productive walks

Works for me anyway.
I like it.

Light hearted

Cheers folks, the first 6 were done with a different set up than the rest.
They were done wit a 1 meter piece of 3x1 with a light facing down on each end. The timber was suspended at either end with string. Then swung, this seemed to result in either a square or rectangular pattern. Except for no 4, I don't know how I swung it for that and haven't been able to repeat it.
The rest were with a single light on a pendulum with exp times varying fro 1 to 4 mins. Sometimes with a torch mid exp to get the flare.
I really am just starting so if anyone wants to try it. YouTube is your friend.
Have fun.

A little more messing
very little pp, a little colour added

Looking forward to seeing some of your work too.

These are my first attempts so I've lots to learn.

I had a little play with #2

Not that I like experimenting or anything
But as I had a little time on my hands yesterday, I thought I'd try something new, for me.

Anyway its early days yet but here are a few of my results

For me. What I prefer about the 2nd shot Is,
The front looks better lit, no blue caste on the roof, the colourful Windows mirror the Xmas lights in the background (Is that the light source in the Windows?), the shape of the Windows is more pleasing in the 2nd one as well.
And as David has said, it fills the frame.

Good shooting.
