My Favoite from the trip, as you can see by the inside shot of the mill, this was a pretty tight Orb to squeeze in! Love it.

I have just created My Facebook Page if you would spend a few minutes to take a look, like and share for me that would be great!

Yay I'm the 100th like. What do I win?

Thanks for the like, much appreciated! Hmm prizes... How about an Internet cookie

One from my most recent trip. Been wanting to go here for a while, it's a great place... Better than I imagined, will be going back as not 100% happy with what I did with some of the shots so will redo them. Here's a sneak peek though!

A quick 30 minute trip to do a bit of Troy Paiva esque shoot at a wee scrap yard 30 seconds from where I am just now. Great fun, a few interesting things to soot but most of the rest had already been flattened ready to be shipped out. Here's the first shot

And I know views aren't a huge thing but my thread now has well over 5k... That's immense! Thanks for dropping by everyone!

 

[ishamy]

Thanks again guys, it's really reassuring hearing peoples thoughts, I do know that it is a bit of a Marmite thing... But it's always good to hear whether good or bad

Another two from the scrapyard trip...

Went out Aurora hunting last night, was huge but not as huge as the cloud covering it was still fun though...

Just discovered this thread - some amazing photos! Will definitely be keeping an eye on it for more!

Thanks glad you like.

It's been a while since I have been out Light Painting really, so here's a shot from last weeks excursion up to the War Memorial in Stornoway. Didn't have a great night... my focusing let me down somewhat all my own fault though but you live and learn!

Another from the War Memorial trip. I remember going to the top of this when I was in primary 3, would love to get up to the top again!

Missed The Bus by M+M Morrison, on Flickr

 

[ishamy]

Wow, surprised you could get into that VOR, I would've thought those things were sealed tighter than a gnats whotsit seeing as how aircraft navigation depends on them and all.

Stunning photos though, this is one of the best threads on the board.

Thanks yes you would think! Just a normal fence with a gate that's unlocked haha.

Some awesome shots

Thanks!

Full moon time again although the weather isn't up to much I managed out for half an hour last night.


Full Moon Wreck by M+M Morrison, on Flickr

An old Airidh (Moor house) that's fallen into disrepair over the years, Yn-467 with purple gel and Canon 540ez with yellow/orange gel, triggered with Yn-602s.

 

[ishamy]

Some awesome shots!

But damn you! Now I have something else to learn how to fail miserably at!!

Thanks! Glad you like, give it a try it's is really good fun. If in doubt just go through the thread as I have tried to put as much info in as possible as well as my Flickr has all the exif of the shots intact so that will give you a rough guide for settings to get started and experiment with

Now a lesson on standing as still as possible for half a minute!

Thanks for looking, yes give it a try, so much fun to have!

The first from last nights trip, for those that have come through the thread you may recognize the Airidh (moor house) from a few months ago. Decided on a return trip along the Pentland road, good fun!

All of last nights shots were with my new Tamron 17-50mm, great lens and having the option of going to 2.8 is great for getting star shots without trails (hint at whats to come ) and it's just pin sharp!

 

[ishamy]

Another 30 second portrait of sorts, this isn't a Light Painting shot but taken while out doing some.

96% moon, loads of stars = great night so a quick sit down to take it all in!

30 second exposure, 2.8 at 400 iso

Yes that's is the v24 I use, it is a wicked piece of kit. However I strongly advise to not buy from there, that company was dissolved in 2008 but they will still take your money, I should know.... I luckily paied with papal and got my money back after 4 weeks!

Yes its a great place to be... when the weather is good that is Haha

 

[ishamy]

Quick spin inside this old house on the Pentland Road from the trip the other night, got to be the scariest place I've ventured yet (down to the hat, bag of fire wood and rucksack on the other side I stumbled upon) quick spin and away I went before I got jumped hah!

Left my favorite of the night until last, kept this one simple. Shortish long exposure at 2.8 and iso 800 with 2 pop of the Canon 540ez with yellow/orange gel, hey presto
