I concentrated on exposure and tried various settings between 0.6 and 10 seconds, shooting some 50 images in all. I also used the self timer to avoid any motion.<br /><br />The images are straight from the camera - there's no Photoshop used.<br /><br />kind regards<br /><br />IanIan Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14130778756061507141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4597424458147017716.post-40618216848412392372010-12-21T09:20:17.472+00:002010-12-21T09:20:17.472+00:00What stunning photographs.
