They look great everyone

Pete - I love night photography, should really get out and do more

That last pic is stunning Pete can you tell us a little more about how it was achieved, you have a lovely sunset but also a very clear night sky and I presumed that the exposure for the stars would have caused the lower right to be totally over exposed?

I adore that last pic, Pete. You mentioned you've been commissioned for it. Does that mean I can't buy a print of it from you?

Best time of year for it really. Colder weather I think means more chance of clearer skies, plus there are more hours of darkness and you can do it at 8pm if you wanted. Best to do it around midnight I hear though.

Annoyingly if I tell you how I did it, and it is just 1 shot, it might spoil the illusion

If you want I can tell you

Long exposure taken at sunset and a little of your usual PP magic?

It's not dust btw, it's mud and 'marbles'

I like this shot, I wonder what it would be like wide open with a faster shutter speed? You'd get a much lower depth of field and could keep the front car in focus whilst getting a nice progressive blur to the second car and the truck would be almost unrecognisable

.

Something else to try might be a long exposure and a manual zoom during the exposure which would give a tunneling effect

Not sure it was taken at sunset but can't imagine how he got the end result at that time of night.

Oh and add me to the list of people that love that pic Pete.

30 second exposure taken about 8 hours after sunset

The glow is from the town about a mile away. I adjusted the white balance so it was more like sunset than light pollution.

Very good.

I doesn't detract at all

Thanks Matt,

I was hoping to get that kind of effect but I really didn't have a clue how to acheive it. I will have a play when I have time.

I've also got another shot in mind with the Ferrari pit stop set, probably using similar settings.

Pete, I love the night shot!
