Bridge

[Jon]

Popped out to get fuel last night, and accidentally ended up at my bridge again, like you do :-)

 

Been trying to use live view and manual focus with the camera in full manual mode recently, and I'm still a bit hitty missy, although I'm getting better (in my own, humble, opinion)

 

Stockton from the end of the bridge - cant even hear the fighting from here!!

On the Bridge - 4 people asked me if I was taking photos while I was sat on the ground taking this

What she said ^^^^^^^^^

Brilliant! 

Loving the light flare. Did you use a star filter for this?

[Jon]

No, the circular polariser was on, as it almost always is, but nothing else.  I think its a side effect of the long exposure times - someone what knows will be along soon and explain it, hopefully :-)

Star bursts are caused as light passes the aperture blades where they join in your lens and is scattered  The more you have the lens open the less the stars burst

There is also some relation to how many spikes a star has to the number of blades in your lens but I dont know what it is

So its all down to overexposed light rattling round your lens in a darkend enviroment

 

Or so i have been told

[NannyFerret]

Natural flare. That is perfect.

Lovely set, Festcu - Nos 2&4 for me.

Hope you don't mind but I saw the potential of a seriously good abstract within your second shot that just needed a tiny tweak.

 

 

Equally you could swap the stars over but I thought the three white lights were rather graphic?

[Jon]

Nice, I don't have the skills to do that - yet - I like it

[Terry]

A great set but definitely #2 for .
